An example of stimulus control is a child learning to say "please" and "thank you" only when prompted by their parents. In this case, the parents serve as a stimulus that cues the child to use polite language. Once the child associates these phrases with the presence of their parents, they may start using them independently in similar social situations, demonstrating how the initial stimulus influenced their behavior.
