  3. • Who is controlling who (this may be more than one person being controlled or controlling)?
    • What are the discriminative stimuli?
    • What are the reinforcement and/or punishment contingencies (specify the behavior and consequences)?
    • What previous conditioning may have increased the likelihood of the individual being successfully controlled?
