Two experiments examined conditions under which complex discriminative behaviors could be established and maintained by reinforcement given concurrently for performance at related tasks. Results indicated that durable stimulus control of oddity responding could be obtained for two cue dimensions for which oddity responding was never reinforced.…

Generalization of stimulus control in different situations and with novel adults occurred with those children who were trained by contingent reinforcement, but not with those trained by both contingent and noncontingent reinforcement. This research was submitted as part of the author's dissertation. (MH)

In this study, a transfer of stimulus control procedure was used to establish generalized verb-noun instruction-following skills in two severely retarded boys. (Author/JH)

Study conducted to investigate attention span in relation to various schedules or regimes of reinforcement. (Author/MB)

A comparative assessment of eight normal and eight psychotic children in a stimulus generalization paradigm using simple and complex figures. Six of the subjects fulfilled the criteria for infantile autism. (CM)

This study relates excitatory and inhibitory personality variables of a heterogeneous group of severely retarded children to performance on a discrete trial, successive go-no-go intradimensional discrimination learning problem, which was followed by stimulus generalization tests on a color hue continuum and extinction trials.
