A derived transfer of simple discrimination and self-reported arousal: Functions in spider fearful and non-spider-fearful participants

Article Abstract:

Two experiments investigated the derived transfer of functions through equivalence relations established using a stimulus pairing observation procedure. The results demonstrated that spider-fearful and non-spider-fearful participants show differing levels of a transfer of self-reported arousal factions for stimuli used in equivalence relation with video-based material depicting scenes with spiders.

Mathematical models and the experimental analysis of behavior

Article Abstract:

Mathematical models developed in basic behavioral research are used to predict and control behavior in applied setting, and they guide research in other areas of psychology. A good mathematical model can provide a common framework for understanding what might otherwise appear to be diverse and unrelated behavior phenomena.

A derived transfer of functions and the Implicit Association Test

Article Abstract:

Participants trained in a series of interrelated conditional discriminations were measured with Implicit Association test (IAT). Results suggest that IAT effect arises from untested derived relations and provides a behavioral model for semantic categories in languages.
