Direct linkKisamore, April N.; Karsten, Amanda M.; Mann, Charlotte C.; Conde, Kerry Ann – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2013
Axe (2008) speculated that some instances of intraverbal responding might be associated with limited or delayed acquisition because they require discrimination of multiple components of verbal stimuli. Past studies suggest that acquisition of responses under control of complex, multicomponent antecedent stimuli (e.g., conditional or compound…

It was concluded from the date that satiation plays a determining role in the continued utilization of an acquired response while distraction is a primary determinant of acquisition rate. (Authors)

Peer reviewedBerman, Phyllis W. – Child Development, 1973
If learning is viewed in terms of the tendency to approach a stimulus that has been rewarded and to avoid a stimulus that has not been rewarded, then it must be concluded that the subjects in this study did not learn. (Author)

Purpose of the present experiment was to compare performance of four- and six-year-olds on a conjunctive concept task in which the two relevant values were either within a single dimension (unidimensional) or from two different dimensions (bidimensional). (Authors)

The two experiments investigated stimulus novelty which may affect reward and nonreward in a discrimination learning situation at different ages. The first experiment compared two types of "trial one" stimulus procedures on error tendencies following reward and nonreward. The two procedures differed with respect to novelty effects. One group was…

Kolb, Doris H.; Etzel, Barbara C. – 1968
As a result of findings of a previous study, this study, which sought to program preschool subjects to wait one minute for reinforcement, used pause-building procedures before delay conditions were started. The children, 3- to 5-year-olds, were designated either Baseline (control) subjects (n=3) or Programmed (experimental) subjects (n=5). Though…

Kolb, Doris H.; Etzel, Barbara C. – 1967
Several 3- to 5-year-old children participated in this study designed to discover the necessary procedures to establish nonresponding in preschool children during delay of reinforcement. The children were divided into two groups: (1) the programed group (PG), to which a 60-second delay period was introduced gradually and (2) the baseline group…
