Peak Shift and Rules in Human Generalization
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lee, Jessica C.; Hayes, Brett K.; Lovibond, Peter F. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Two experiments tested whether a peak-shifted generalization gradient could be explained by the averaging of distinct gradients displayed in subgroups reporting different generalization rules. Across experiments using a causal judgment task (Experiment 1) and a fear conditioning paradigm (Experiment 2), we found a close concordance between…

The Intermixed-Blocked Effect in Human Perceptual Learning Is Not the Consequence of Trial Spacing
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Mitchell, Chris; Nash, Scott; Hall, Geoffrey – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2008
A robust finding in humans and animals is that intermixed exposure to 2 similar stimuli (AX/BX) results in better discriminability of those stimuli on test than does exposure to 2 equally similar stimuli in 2 separate blocks (CX_DX)--the intermixed-blocked effect. This intermixed-blocked effect may be an example of the superiority of spaced over…

Nunnally, Jum C. – 1968
The research concerned the association of neutral objects, such as nonsense syllables, with rewards, such as money and candy, in children. Thirty-six subjects were obtained from grades two through six of local public elementary schools in Nashville, Tennessee. Associations between neutral objects and rewards were formed in a task concerning…
