Peer reviewedTragakis, Chris – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1975
Presents two experiments which examined: (1) the tendency to make differential cue-producing responses to the values of dimensions that vary within or between settings; and (2) the hypothesis that children have more experience with problems following a two-choice simultaneous discrimination format than a successive one. Subjects were third- and…

Peer reviewedCunningham, Thomas F.; Thaller, Karl E. – Child Study Journal, 1975
A total of 128 first- and second-graders participated in two sets of shift problems: (1) four extra-dimensional shifts; and (2) shift problems with two types of cue-reinforcement conditions (same and reversal). (ED)

The present study examines the relationship between alternation behavior and performance, and in addition, the effects of reinforcement configuration and relevant dimension upon the use of alternation strategies in probability learning. Also investigated is the hypothesis that children's errors at terminal levels of performance in a two-choice…
