Mediated Generalization and Stimulus Equivalence. [PDF]
AbstractFrom the 1930s to the 1970s a large number of experimental studies on mediated generalization were published, and this research tradition provided an important context for early research on stimulus equivalence. Mediated generalization and stimulus equivalence have several characteristics in common, notably that both traditions seek to ...

Neural correlates of derived relational responding on tests of stimulus equivalence [PDF]
Background An essential component of cognition and language involves the formation of new conditional relations between stimuli based upon prior experiences. Results of investigations on transitive inference (TI) highlight a prominent role for the medial

Electrophysiological correlates of stimulus equivalence processes. [PDF]
Research reported here concerns neural processes relating to stimulus equivalence class formation. In Experiment 1, two types of word pairs were presented successively to normally capable adults. In one type, the words had related usage in English (e.g., uncle, aunt).

Stimulus equivalence, generalization, and contextual stimulus control in verbal classes. [PDF]
Stimulus generalization and contextual control affect the development of equivalence classes. Experiment 1 demonstrated primary stimulus generalization from the members of trained equivalence classes. Adults were taught to match six spoken Icelandic nouns and corresponding printed words and pictures to one another in computerized three-choice matching ...

Prediction of Relational Deciphering Stimuli of Compound Abbreviated Appellatives [PDF]
The present study is devoted to the description of the methodology for predicting word combinations equivalent to compound abbreviated appellatives, which is based on the use of the correlation of semantic cases of equivalent word combinations and ...

Implicit Learning of Chinese Numeral Classifiers Using the Stimulus Equivalence Paradigm [PDF]
Chinese Numeral Classifiers (NCs), which are obligatory in the quantification of nouns, have been observed to pose serious challenges to learners of Chinese as a second language. Learners typically have difficulties generalizing the use of classifiers to

ACQUIRED EQUIVALENCE CHANGES STIMULUS REPRESENTATIONS [PDF]
Acquired equivalence is a paradigm in which generalization is increased between two superficially dissimilar stimuli (or antecedents) that have previously been associated with similar outcomes (or consequents). Several possible mechanisms have been proposed, including changes in stimulus representations, either in the form of added associations or a ...

SPEED ANALYSES OF STIMULUS EQUIVALENCE [PDF]
The functional substitutability of stimuli in equivalence classes was examined through analyses of the speed of college students' accurate responding. After training subjects to respond to 18 conditional relations, subjects' accuracy and speed of accurate responding were compared across trial types (baseline, symmetry, transitivity, and combined ...
