Equivalence relations, contextual control, and naming

Article Abstract:

Two experiments investigated the role of verbal behavior in the emergence and generalization of contextually controlled equivalence classes. The experiment results reveal that visual stimuli are named, that verbal bases for stimulus classification can affect the emergence of contextually controlled equivalence classes on the other hand, untrained contextually controlled conditional discriminations involving novel stimuli can emerge on the basis of participants' verbal behavior.
