Routh, Donald K.; Wischner, George J. – Develop Psychol, 1970
Verbal pretraining aided both single-problem discrimination and learning-set performance, while single-problem mastery manipulations had no significant effect. These results support the theory of acquired distinctiveness of cues. (MH)

Information theory was used to qualify the difficulty of verbal discrimination (VD) learning tasks and to measure VD performance. Words for VD items were selected with high background frequency and equal a priori probabilities of being selected as a first response. Three VD lists containing only 2-, 3-, or 4-word items were created and equated for…

Favell, Judith Elbert; And Others – 1968
In this study of errorless learning a procedure is tested which allows the subject himself to adjust the speed at which a supplementary stimulus aid is withdrawn. A standard match-to-sample apparatus with 1 sample window above and 4 matching (response) windows below was used. Tokens were delivered for correct responses and the correct matching…

Peer reviewedRogers, C. Jean; Johnson, Peder J. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1973
Purpose of the present experiment was to compare performance of four- and six-year-olds on a conjunctive concept task in which the two relevant values were either within a single dimension (unidimensional) or from two different dimensions (bidimensional). (Authors)

Peer reviewedBerman, Phyllis W. – Developmental Psychology, 1973
The age effect in this study was such that younger children required proportionately more experience with reward than nonreward before they were able to improve their performance on reward problems over six sessions. (Author)

Bourne, L. E., Jr.; Miller, Shirley – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
Purpose of this experiment was to explore the effects of pre- and postshift stimulus similarity, type of shift, and difficulty of discrimination in the standard solution shift - concept identification paradigm. (Authors/CB)
