Stimuli can be related in many different ways, so there are many different types or patterns of relational responding. Each type of relational responding, if it is arbitrarily applicable and has the features listed here, is a kind of relational frame.

FeatureDescription
Mutual EntailmentRelations between stimuli are bidirectional. Responding to the relation in one direction (A to B) entails responding to the relation in the other direction (B to A).
Combinatorial EntailmentTwo or more stimulus relations can mutually combine. Responding to two combined relations (between A and B and between C and B) can entail a response to a third relation (between A and C).
Transformation of Stimulus FunctionsThe functions a stimulus has for a person can be transformed or changed on the basis of how it is related to other stimuli.
