The role of interpositus nucleus in eyelid conditioned responses.

One of the most widely used experimental models for the study of learning processes in mammals has been the classical conditioning of nictitating membrane/eyelid responses, using both trace and delay paradigms. Mainly on the basis of permanent or ...

Kandinskys questionnaire revisited: fundamental correspondence of basic colors and forms?

Kandinsky postulated a fundamental correspondence between color and form. Using a variant of his historical questionnaire, 200 (92 men, 108 women) nonartist university students were divided into two groups and asked to assign the colors yellow, red, and ...

How do people solve the "weather prediction" task?: individual variability in strategies for probabilistic category learning.

Probabilistic category learning is often assumed to be an incrementally learned cognitive skill, dependent on nondeclarative memory systems. One paradigm in particular, the weather prediction task, has been used in over half a dozen neuropsychological ...

A functional-analytic model of analogy: a relational frame analysis.

The aim of this study was to explore a behavior-analytic model of analogical reasoning, defined as the discrimination of formal similarity via equivalence-equivalence responding. In Experiment 1, adult humans were trained and tested for the formation of ...

The formation of a generalized categorization repertoire: effect of training with multiple domains, samples, and comparisons.

The present experiment explored the effects of three variables on the spontaneous categorization of stimuli in perceptually distinct and novel domains. Each of six stimulus domains was created by morphing two images that were the domain endpoints. The ...

The competition-among-relations-in-nominals theory of conceptual combination: implications for stimulus class formation and class expansion.

One way in which new concepts are added to the conceptual system is through conceptual combination. The competition-among-relations-in-nominals (CARIN) theory (Gagné & Shoben, 1997) proposes that conceptual combination involves specifying a thematic ...

Categorization, concept learning, and behavior analysis: an introduction.

Categorization and concept learning encompass some of the most important aspects of behavior, but historically they have not been central topics in the experimental analysis of behavior. To introduce this special issue of the Journal of the Experimental ...

Frontal brain activity predicts individual performance in an associative memory exclusion test.

Event-related brain potentials (ERPs) were recorded from 24 young adults during a recognition test including Old, New, and Recombined pairs composed of two words studied in different pairs. Recombined pairs called for a response of new. Task difficulty ...

On the role of covarying functions in stimulus class formation and transfer of function.

This experiment investigated whether directly trained covarying functions are necessary for stimulus class formation and transfer of function in humans. Initial class training was designed to establish two respondent-based stimulus classes by pairing two ...

Recursive retrospective revaluation of causal judgments.

Recursive causal evaluation is an iterative process in which the evaluation of a target cause, T, is based on the outcome of the evaluation of another cause, C, the evaluation of which itself depends on the evaluation of a 3rd cause, D. Retrospective ...
