Sixteen 9-18 month normal/superior infants "played" in their home cribs with a two-channel operant "toy" which allowed free choice between alternate audio feedbacks. With more than 300,000 seconds of listening time in the response record, 12 babies successfully discriminated gross differences in auditory complexity, while 10 discriminated fine…

Walls, Richard T.; Rude, Stanley H. – 1972
The study assessed contributions of different novelty pairings and reward types to exploration behavior across three successive discrimination learning problems in a 3 x 2 x 3 mixed design. After learning a simple two choice discrimination problem, Headstart subjects responded to six double reward trials and six extinction trials. A…

Brigham, Thomas A.
A model for the analysis of simple human conceptual behavior, based on the apparent similarities of human conceptual behavior and that of infrahuman subjects, is developed. A minimum definition of conceptual behavior is given: A single response, verbal or nonverbal, under the discriminative control of a group of stimuli whose parameters are…

PDF pending restorationO'Malley, John J. – 1972
Review of reversal learning data obtained from Ss of various developmental phases suggested that overtraining increases perseveration in pre-school children, and decrease perseveration in older (e.g., 1st grade) children. The present experiment tested this apparent trend. Children of two age groups (X = 4 yrs., 4 mos., vs. X = 6 yrs., 5 mos.)…
