Stimulus control training is about a stimulus controlling a behavior. Discrimination training is about differentiating between stimuli.
For Question 25: Developmental psychology focuses on growth and change across the lifespan. Parapsychology deals with paranormal phenomena. Oncology is the study of cancer. Cytology is the study of cells.
