Smeets, Paul M.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1997
Investigated simultaneous occurrence of emergent stimulus-response relations (functional equivalence) and stimulus-stimulus relations (stimulus equivalence). Trained 4- and 5-year olds to emit specified responses to pairs of stimuli in one setting (original training) and to emit other responses to one member of each pair in another setting…

Smeets, Paul M.; Barnes, Dermot – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1997
Children and adults were trained and tested on formation of novel simple discriminations and conditional stimulus relations. Subjects who formed these sets were trained and tested on formation of stimulus equivalence classes. A modest majority of children matched directly paired stimuli; a few matched indirectly paired stimuli. All normal adults…

Kilmer, W. L.; Arbib, M. A. – International Journal of Man-Machine Studies, 1973
A discussion of several types of formal neurons, many of whose functions are modifiable by their own input stimuli. The language of finite automata is used to mathematicize the problem of adaptation sufficiently to remove some ambiguities of Brindley's approach. (Author)

Haines, James – Journal of Psychology, 1977
Shows that pretraining affects cue selection and produces integration of the stimulus without affecting paired associate learning. Suggests that these findings might help to improve selection strategies of younger children in paired associate learning. (RL)

Smeets, Paul M.; Barnes-Holmes, Dermot; Roche, Bryan – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2001
Trained preschoolers and adults on three sets of successive discriminations with stimuli labeled A, B, and R. Tested for derived stimulus-response relations and stimulus-stimulus relations. Adults displayed class-consistent B-R and A-B performances over all conditions. Children's display of class-consistent B-R performance varied by training…

Palermo, David S. – 1966
While studies in learning and verbal behavior show that learning comes through paired-associate problems, they do not explain the acquisition of language. Three paradigms demonstrate mediation effect in paired-associate learning: response equivalence, stimulus equivalence, and chaining model. By reviewing children's language acquisition patterns…
