A model for residence time in concurrent variable interval performance

Article Abstract:

A component-functions model of choice behavior is proposed for performance on interdependent concurrent variable-interval (VI) variable-interval schedules based on the product of two component functions. This model acts as a solution to the symmetrical pair of differential equations describing behavioral changes and it can be considered as an alternative to Herrnstein's quantitative law of effect.

Conditional relations with compound abstract stimuli using a go/no-go procedure

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted using compound abstract stimuli to evaluate possibility of establishment of emergent conditional relations with a go/no-go procedure. It is found that go/no-go procedure with compound stimuli establishes emergent conditional relations that provide a procedural alternative to the matching-to-sample procedures used in studies of stimulus equivalence.

The effects of differential training procedures on linked perceptual class information

Article Abstract:

The effects of a variety of training procedures on the formation of common linked perceptual class which includes the sounds of a person's voice (class A) and the pictures of that person (class B) are described. The results of this study are expected to help in the development of naturally occurring linked perceptual classes.
