1932 A. C. Tolman Purposive Behavior v. 86 We propose now the terms discriminanda and manipulanda for these two varieties of support.

1951 E. C. Tolman Coll. Papers in Psychol. 80 Discriminanda is my name for those properties of objects wherein, in purely sensory fashion, such objects differ one from another. This term is, in short, a substitute for the Sensationalist's term ‘sense qualities’ when those latter are conceived as actual existents in the objects.

1974 Nature 10 May 157/2 By comparison with animals exposed to only one of the visual discriminanda before testing, those exposed to both stimuli generally take considerably more trials to master a discrimination task.

2011 Behavioural Brain Res. 224 9/1 Wooden floor inserts (9.5 cm × 9.5 cm) covered with different materials acted as discriminanda signalling the location of the reward.

This is a new entry (OED Third Edition, December 2013; most recently modified version published online March 2022).
