THE EFFECTS OF CONDITIONAL DISCRIMINATION INSTRUCTION AND VERBAL BEHAVIOR ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF HIERARCHICAL RESPONDING
This investigation evaluated the use of conditional discrimination (CD) instruction and multiple exemplar instruction (MEI) to establish derived relational responding in accordance with hierarchical frames with school aged children. The first experiment used a multiple probe design to evaluate the …

An Investigation Into Rate-building and Cues on Conditional Discrimination Performance Using a Repeated Acquisition Procedure
The present study consisted of eleven experiments divided between two series of studies. The first part of Series 1 aimed at replicating the findings of Porritt (2007) and Porritt et al. (2009). Findings from Series 1 showed that rate-building, when number of practices and reinforcement rate are …

Conditional Discrimination and Stimulus Equivalence: Effects of Suppressing Derived Symmetrical Responses on the Emergence of Transitivity.
… 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 first condition, two stimulus classes in …

Effects of Discrimination Abilities on Functional Analysis Outcomes
This study evaluated the extent to which conditional discrimination abilities affected a participant's differential responding during a standard multielement analogue functional analysis (FA). Eight individuals participated. The Assessment of Basic Learning Abilities (ABLA) was conducted with each …

Derived Textual Control in Recreational Activity Schedules with Children with Autism
… This study was done to examine the use of a conditional discrimination procedure for helping children with autism transfer from the use of a pictorial activity schedule to the use of a textual activity schedule. The participant was exposed to a conditional discrimination training procedure …

EFFECTS OF STIMULUS COMPLEXITY, SUBJECT AGE, AND STIMULUS CODING ON SELECTIVE STIMULUS CONTROL
… and the subject's response. A multi-element conditional discrimination problem is an effective means of studying these relationships. In the first experiment, preschool and adult subjects were presented with a series of conditional discrimination problems. They were required to respond …

An experimental analysis of a coding response theory of discrimination learning
… functional rules for a coding response theory of discrimination learning. Two of these rules, 1) coding responses occur in the presence of experimental stimuli and produce discriminative stimulus consequences, and 2) code items are values or a particular stimulus dimension, were assumed by the …

Equivalence Class Formation and Attitudes Toward Neurodevelopmental Disabilities
… completed a baseline IAT, followed by conditional discrimination training and tests for equivalence class formation. Participants completed a baseline IAT, followed by conditional discrimination training and tests for equivalence class formation using either medical model terminology …

Effect of training structures on the establishment of equivalence classes in college students and individuals with intellectual disabilities
… Participants in both groups were exposed to conditional discrimination training, mixed training, symmetry and equivalence test. Response accuracy and response latency were measured in both groups. The results showed that the MTO training structure was slightly more effective in establishing …

Single and Combined Effects of Cannabinoids on Neuropathic Pain and Cognition
… three rodent models of learning and memory: 1) Conditional Discrimination, 2) Conditional Discrimination with a reversal component, and 3) Barnes Maze. Results. Cannabidiol was found to be more potent and more effective than -9-THC in attenuating neuropathic pain in a dose dependent manner. …

On the effects of extended sample-observing response requirements on adjusted delay in a titrating delay matching-to-sample procedure with pigeons.
… variation that facilitates the acquisition of conditional discriminations is to increase the time an organism spends in the presence of the sample stimulus by programming extended sample-observing response requirements. Despite their common use, there has been little empirical investigation of …

Establishing Bidirectional Symmetry in Children Learning English as a Second Language
… (name-object or A-B) relations via either conditional discrimination training (in Experiment 1), or a respondent-type training procedure (in Experiment 2). This training was followed by tests for derived symmetry-like relations (B-A relations). If participants failed these tests, MET was …

Recombinative Generalisation and Psycholinguistic Grain Size: An Investigation of Reading Related Skills in Adult Readers and Children with Learning Difficulties
… The adapted MTS training protocol included conditional discrimination training, explicit symmetry training, and mixed symmetry testing for onset and rime sound–symbol relations. Experiment 1 was designed to test the efficacy of the revised protocol. All participants successfully completed …

Visual discrimination and object/picture recognition in hens
… 1, six hens were trained to perform either a conditional discrimination (successive) or forced-choice discrimination (simultaneous) between flickering (25 Hz) and steady lights. A descending method of limits procedure was then used to increase the flicker speed by 5 Hz over blocks of 20 trials …

Mind reading as behaviour reading: Behavour analysis and perspective taking
… using the concept of stimulus control. I used a conditional discrimination task in which reinforcement for identifying an individual’s false belief depended on a stimulus change in a given setting. Participants completed a non-verbal computer task and selected a particular stimulus dependent on …

An Exploration of Target Event Encoding in a Predictive Learning Task with Humans: Integrated or Separable Processing?
… short and long ISIs. Experiment 4 employed a conditional discrimination training procedure, where one of two cues predicted target 1 after a short ISI and target 2 after a long ISI, and the other cue signaled target 2 after a short ISI and target 1 after a long ISI. In test, subjects received …

A Comparison of Auditory and Visual Stimuli in a Delayed Matching to Sample Procedure with Adult Humans.
Five humans were exposed to a matching to sample task in which the delay (range = 0 to 32 seconds) between sample stimulus offset and comparison onset was manipulated across conditions. Auditory stimuli (1” tone) and arbitrary symbols served as sample stimuli for three (S1, S2, S3) and two (S4 and …
