Zaman, Jonas; Yu, Kenny; Lee, Jessica C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
In the field of stimulus generalization, an old yet unresolved discussion pertains to what extent stimulus misidentifications contribute to the pattern of conditioned responding. In this article, we perform cluster analysis on six datasets (four published datasets and two unpublished datasets, included N = 950) to examine the relationship between…

Don, Hilary J.; Goldwater, Micah B.; Greenaway, Justine K.; Hutchings, Rosalind; Livesey, Evan J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Failure to learn and generalize abstract relational rules has critical implications for education. In this study, we aimed to determine which training conditions facilitate relational transfer in a relatively simple (patterning) discrimination versus a relatively complex (biconditional) discrimination. The amount of training participants received…

Bowman, Caitlin R.; Zeithamova, Dagmar – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Building conceptual knowledge that generalizes to novel situations is a key function of human memory. Category-learning paradigms have long been used to understand the mechanisms of knowledge generalization. In the present study, we tested the conditions that promote formation of new concepts. Participants underwent 1 of 6 training conditions that…

Francis, Wendy S.; Strobach, E. Natalia; Penalver, Renee M.; Martínez, Michelle; Gurrola, Bianca V.; Soltero, Amaris – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Three source-memory experiments were conducted with Spanish-English bilinguals and monolingual English speakers matched on age, education, nonverbal cognitive ability and socioeconomic status. Bilingual language proficiency and dominance were assessed using standardized objective measures. In Experiment 1, source was manipulated visuo-spatially,…

Leboe, Jason P.; Whittlesea, Bruce W. A.; Milliken, Bruce – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2005
Processing of a probe stimulus can be affected either positively or negatively by presenting a related stimulus immediately before it. According to structural accounts, such effects occur because processing of the prime activates or inhibits the mental representation of the probe before it is presented. In contrast, transfer-appropriate processing…
