Bourne, L. E., Jr.; Miller, Shirley – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
Purpose of this experiment was to explore the effects of pre- and postshift stimulus similarity, type of shift, and difficulty of discrimination in the standard solution shift - concept identification paradigm. (Authors/CB)

This study was designed to investigate the effects of increasing levels of task complexity on the conditioned emotional response (CER) with human subjects (Ss). Three hypotheses were proposed: (1) the CER would increase as task complexity increased, (2) there would be sex differences between Ss with respect to the interaction between the CER and…

Terris, William; Rahhal, Don K. – J Personality Soc Psychol, 1969
Studies the ability of college women to generalize resistance to stress when learning lists of nonsense syllables. Subjects trained under one type of stress learned more easily under a second type of stress than did subjects trained under nonstressful conditions. Table, graph, and bibliography. (RW)

Peer reviewedSpiker, Charles C.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1972
Predictions for multidimensional generalization were derived from Hull-Spence learning theory, and an experiment is reported that was designed to test this aspect of the theory. Alternative to this analysis is presented in PS 502 062; authors respond in PS 502 063. (Authors/MB)

Bozinou, Efthymia; Goulet, L. R. – 1970
This study investigated the spontaneous use of verbal mediators in discrimination learning, the transfer of mediators to a free recall task, and the effects of a pretraining task on performance. The discrimination tasks required nursery school children (80) to: (1) sort three instances each of two different concepts in a conceptually consistent…
