-Not all stimuli have roles; in these cases, the stimulus is simply a generic stimulus.
+Not all stimuli have more specific roles than just being the stimulus; in these cases, the stimulus is simply a generic stimulus.  A stimulus may also have experiment-specific import to the subject, as reflected in playing the role of a reward or feedback.
 We define a stimulus as a role so that ontologies of tones, lights, pictures, and other "things" can be imported as references to the objects which play the role of stimulus in a given experimental condition.

 ===Example===
-In an auditory oddball paradigm, the role of the stimulus is usually filled by the auditory tone or cluster of tones that are presented to the subject.
+In an auditory oddball experiment, tones are the stimuli, which are categorized as either non-target (low frequency) or target (high-frequency) tones.  The distinction of whether the stimulus is a target or non-target is qualified by the stimulus role.
 ===Logical Restrictions===
-An experimental [[Behavioral Experimental Paradigm Condition]] requires something that plays the role of a stimulus.
