Relating derived relations as a model of analogical reasoning: Reaction times and event-related potentials

Article Abstract:

A Relational Frame Theory (RTF) model of analogical reasoning based on the relating of derived same and derived different relations is tested by recording their reaction time measures and event related potentials. The results support the RTF prediction that similar-similar and different-different relational responses involve functionally distinct classes of behavior and shows that a behavior-analytical model of analogical reasoning can be generated in the laboratory.

The transformation of consequential functions in accordance with the relationship frames of same and opposite

Article Abstract:

The derived transformation of consequential functions in accordance with nonequivalence relations is examined. The results of the experiments indicate that a consequential function given to one member of a relational network can be transformed in accordance with the relations within that network.

The transformation of consequential functions in accordance with the relational frames of More-than and Less-than

Article Abstract:

The transformation of consequential functions in accordance with a seven-member relational network was investigated under three experiments. The study demonstrated a transformation and generalization of consequential functions in accordance with the relational frames of More-than and Less-than.
