Peer reviewedLevine, Marvin – Psychological Review, 1971
Descriptors: Behavioral Science Research, Discrimination Learning, Learning Theories, Responses
Peer reviewedDickerson, Donald J. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1970
Three groups of severely retarded and three groups of mildly retarded individuals responded to a series of five 10-trial oddity problems under nonreward conditions. Results suggest that oddity is a stimulus characteristic to which an approach response is made, independent of its concurrent association with reward, and that stimulus value of oddity…

Peer reviewedHillenbrand, James; And Others – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1979
Six- to 7-month-old infants were tested on their ability to discriminate among three speech sounds which differed on the basis of formant-transition duration, a major cue to distinctions among stop, semivowel, and diphthong classes. (Author/PHR)

Peer reviewedMasters, John C.; Mokros, Janice R. – Child Development, 1973
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)

Fink, Richard T. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1972
The ability of M. Levine's subset-sampling assumptions to account for the decrease in response latency following the trial of the last error was investigated by employing a distributed stimulus set composed of four binary dimensions and a procedure which required Ss to make an overt response in order to sample each dimension.

Discrimination Learning by Reflective and Impulsive Children as a Function of Reinforcement Schedule
Peer reviewedMassari, David J.; Schack, Mary Lou – Developmental Psychology, 1972
These findings suggest that a high density of negative feedback induces both reflective and impulsive children to make fewer errors than does positive feedback. (Authors)

Peer reviewedSchaeffer, Benson; Ellis, Stephen – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1970
Two experiments show that response to explicit dimensions is not crucial to the change from easier nonreversal to easier reversal shifts during overlearning in grammar school children ages 7, 8, and 9. (WY)

Direct linkMaes, J. H. R.; Vich, J.; Eling, P. A. T. M. – Brain and Cognition, 2006
Thirty-six healthy participants received a discrimination learning task requiring the identification of a relevant stimulus dimension. After successful learning, the relevant dimension was shifted unannounced. All exemplars of the two dimensions presented after the shift were novel, implying a "total change" design. In three experimental…

Tourinho, E. Z. – Behavior Analyst, 2006
In this article, I discuss the concepts of "private stimuli," "covert responses," and "private events," emphasizing three aspects: the conditions under which private stimuli may acquire discriminative functions to verbal responses, the conditions of unobservability of covert responses, and the complexity of events or phenomena described as…
