Novelty as a Reinforcer for Position Learning in Children

Wilson, Marian Monyok

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 18, 1, 51-61, Aug 74

The stimulus-familiarization-effect (SFE) paradigm, a reaction-time (RT) task based on a response to novelty procedure, was modified to assess response for novelty, ie., a response-reinforcement sequence. The potential implications of attention for reinforcement theory and learning in general are discussed. (Author/CS)
