Abstract
Occasion setting occurs when a stimulus effectively modulates the relationship between a conditioned stimulus and reinforcement-specifically, when behavior is elicited in response to a conditioned stimulus when an occasion setter is present but not in its absence.In the target article "Are You Studying Occasion Setting?A Review for Inquiring Minds," Leising et al. ( 2025) extensively review many testing procedures in which occasion setters are present to highlight the importance of their presence and impact on performance.In this commentary, we broaden this discussion by revisiting a suboptimal choice procedure and reframing it using the lens of occasion setting.We propose that there are stimuli within this choice task that serve as occasion setters for behavior.Using this interpretation of the suboptimal choice procedure illuminates a potential explanation for why a suboptimal preference has been observed by pigeons but not by human participants.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
