Match-to-Sample Stroop Task: A Systematic Manipulation of Sample and Response Option Onset
… names an incongruent color, has long been used to investigate attentional processes; however, there is still debate concerning the source of the effects produced by the task. The s<em>emantic competition hypothesis</em> posits that interference results from competing semantic processes …

Effects of a Limited Hold on Pigeons' Match-to-sample Performance Under Fixed-ratio Scheduling.
Pigeons were trained on a zero-delay identity match-to-sample task. Experiment 1 started with every correct match reinforced with grain access and subsequent conditions include higher fixed-ratio values. Experiment 2 included the same fixed-ratio values as experiment 1 with and without a limited …

Response Latency During Acquisition: A Comparison of Stimulus Presentation Algorithms in a Match-to-Sample Task
Four studies were developed to investigate response latency in a computerized fluency task with college students. The first study was exploratory, and it tracked the patterns of response latency throughout the frequency-building process. Results indicated that response latencies became more …

The Effects of the Delay in a Delayed Match-To-Sample Procedure on Acquisition and Transfer
Twenty-six participants, divided into three groups, learned to relate English words to Czech and Portuguese words in a matching-to-sample procedure. Half the word pairs were learned using English words as samples and foreign words as corresponding comparisons and the other half were learned with …

The Effects of Rate of Responding on Retention, Endurance, Stability, and Application of Performance on a Match-to-sample Task.
… The current study used a within-subject design to analyze the effects of increased response rates on Retention, Endurance, Stability, and Application tests. Number of correct responses and number of unprompted, correct responses in error correction procedures were yoked for individual …

The Use of The Match-to-Sample Paradigm to Study Stimulant Drug Treatment Effects on Attentional Processes in Hyperactive Children
… research involved the use of microcomputers to investigate the allocation of attention in hyperactive children. Children were tested via a match-to-sample (MTS) task that was operated by an Apple II microcomputer. With use of the microcomputer the strategies children used to solve the MTS …

Effects of Mastery of Auditory Match-to-Sample Instruction on Echoics, Emergence of Advanced Listener Literacy, and Speaker as Own Listener Cusps by Elementary School Students with ASD and ADHD
… tested the effects of mastery of an advanced auditory match-to-sample (MTS) instruction on the emission of full echoic responses, and the emergence of advanced listener literacy and speaker-as-own-listener cusps. In two experiments, an advanced auditory MTS instruction was implemented, in which …

The role of common stimulus functions in the development of equivalence classes.
College students were exposed to training designed to teach nine simple discriminations, such that sets of three arbitrary visual stimuli acquired common functions. For seven of eight participants, three 3-member contingency classes resulted. When the same stimuli were presented in a …

The medial prefrontal cortex and the dorsomedial striatum are necessary for working memory in rats: role of NMDA receptors
… is a form of short-term memory involved in the storage (maintenance) of information over time and reorganization (manipulation) of a memory set necessary for complex cognition. The human frontal cortex and striatum are involved with working memory; however, the mechanisms through which these …

EEG activation patterns in the frontal lobes of stutterers and nonstutterers during working memory tasks
… is a physiological disorder of speech motor control. Unlike acquired conditions, developmental stuttering is responsive to fluency-inducing conditions involving the manipulation or elimination of auditory feedback. It was hypothesized that stutterers experience interference effects from …

Fusion With Self-Referential Labels: Examining A Behavioral Measure
… Therapy, defusion exercises are designed to de-emphasize the literal interpretation of thoughts (such as self-labels) so that behavior is less controlled by verbal rules and more sensitive to direct interaction with the environment. Although existing self-report measures sensitive to …

Conditional Discrimination and Stimulus Equivalence: Effects of Suppressing Derived Symmetrical Responses on the Emergence of Transitivity.
… for five subjects who demonstrated a tendency to derive equivalence relations based on conditional discrimination training in a match-to-sample procedure. Symmetry suppression was applied in three consecutive sessions in which symmetrical responses were suppressed for one stimulus class in the …

Effects of Resting State On Perceptual Learning
… mechanism by which neural networks learn and store sensory information. However, whether reactivation occurs in areas relevant for perceptual learning is unknown.</p> <p>To investigate how sleep affects perceptual learning at the level of single neurons and networks, an experimental paradigm …

The use of auditory prompting procedure and specific reinforcer assignments to promote auditory-visual conditional discriminations in persons with intellectual disabilities
… may struggle when presented with auditory-visual relations (Carp, Peterson, Arkel, Peturdottir, & Ingvarsson, 2012). Previous studies have suggested that class specific consequences may serve as an additional stimulus class for acquisition of relational responding to demonstrate …

Using a Delayed Match-to-Samples Task to Investigate the Isolated Processing of Geometric Shapes and Their Corresponding Shape Words
<p>Evidence suggests an isolated system dedicated to processing geometric information (Spelke, Lee, & Izard, 2010), but isolating geometric processing from semantic processing has remained difficult. Recently, Sturz, Edwards, and Boyer (2014) utilized a delayed match-to-sample (DMTS) task to …

Electrocorticographic Neural Correlates of Arm Movements and Associated Goal Orientation in Humans
… in humans. Using a joystick-based visuomotor task, subjects performed both a standard, delayed match-to-sample center-out task as well as a circular tracing task. Spectral analyses of the ECoG signals clearly showed significant cosine tuning for hand velocity, direction, position and speed …

Using stimulus equivalence procedures to teach English to parents in the Latino community
… or health care providers. Latin parents are left to rely on their children to act as translators when communicating with their teachers or school personnel. Furthermore, Latino parents often have a limited understanding of the U.S. school system, curriculum, and what they are entitled to as …

Derived Textual Control in Activity Schedules Using a Stimulus Pairing Observation Procedure
… disabilities. These schedules have been found to be highly beneficial because they help the learner complete activities independently without additional prompting and support of others. Two young adults diagnosed with Down syndrome, who used pictorial activity schedules, participated in the …

Systemic Blockade of the Endocannabinoid System Alters Gene Expression and acquisition of a Hippocampus Dependent Learning Task
… (Sullivan, 2000). The ability of rimonabant to reverse memory deficits induced by cannabinoid agonists lead to the hypothesis that administering it alone could induce learning and memory enhancements (Brodkin and Moerschbaecher, 1997). Rimonabant-induced memory enhancements may be mediated …

Style Discrimination of Non-Art-Trained Adults: Decentration Capacity and Attention to Manipulated Visual Elements
"Research in style classification attempts to understand cognitive and perceptual abilities related to aesthetic appreciation. Due to the complexity of the analytic stimuli, artwork, research findings have conflicted on two significant issues, i.e., the dominant dimensions in style classification …
