Fields, Lanny; Watanabe-Rose, Mari – Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2008
By definition, all of the stimuli in an equivalence class have to be functionally interchangeable with each other. The present experiment, however, demonstrated that this was not the case when using post-class-formation dual-option response transfer tests. With college students, two 4-node 6-member equivalence classes with nodal structures of…

Perez-Gonzalez, Luis Antonio; Alonso-Alvarez, Benigno – Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2008
We tested whether teaching control by single stimulus samples in conditional discriminations would result in common control of two-stimuli compound samples, and vice versa. In Experiment 1, 5 participants were first taught four single-sample conditional discriminations. The first conditional discrimination was as follows: given sample stimulus P1,…

Drake, Chad E.; Wilson, Kelly G. – Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2008
Conducting studies using an undergraduate participant pool is fraught with difficulties. Among them are problems with adequately motivating subjects both to come to the study, and once there, to actively engage the experimental task. Thirty-one college students participated in a matching-to-sample (MTS) study involving substantial training,…

Kutzner, Florian; Freytag, Peter; Vogel, Tobias; Fiedler, Klaus – Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2008
When humans predict criterion events based on probabilistic predictors, they often lend excessive weight to the predictor and insufficient weight to the base rate of the criterion event. In an operant analysis, using a matching-to-sample paradigm, Goodie and Fantino (1996) showed that humans exhibit base-rate neglect when predictors are associated…
