Fixed-interval performance as a function of previous temporal discrimination training
… is influenced by prior exposure to a temporal discrimination procedure. Pigeons first were exposed to a two-key free-operant psychophysical procedure for two sessions per day. Each trial lasted 60 s and reinforcement was available according to a variable-interval 60-s schedule for pecking one …

The effects of discrimination training on choice-making accuracy during symbolic perference assessment formats
… with developmental disabilities require training to make choices that accurately reflect their preferences. Verbal choice methods are commonly used in everyday clinical practice; however, the accuracy of these methods for identifying actual preferences depends on the individual’s ability …

The Effects of post-training strychnine treatment of the long term retention of discrimination training by mice
… was made to determine the effects of post-training strychnine treatment on the retention of specific memory attributes over extended temporal intervals. Heterogeneous strain (Binghamton HET) mice were given two training trials (1 trial per day) on a discrimination problem for which there …

The Behavioral and Electrophysiological Effects of Discrimination and Inhibition Training on Visual Selective Attention: an ERP and Time-Frequency Analysis
… adults were exposed to three weeks of cognitive training; either discrimination training (trained to discriminate target orientation) or inhibition training (trained to ignore interfering distractors) to investigate whether training impacts behavioral and neural correlates associated with stimuli …

Derived Textual Control in Recreational Activity Schedules with Children with Autism
… 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 before being …

Identification and Discrimination of Synthetic Sonorants by Children: The Influence of Disordered Articulation (Perception)
Auditory-discrimination training is a major component of speech-therapy programs designed to improve speech-articulation skills. Training in the identification and discrimination of correct and incor- rect speech-sound production is based on the premise that there is a causal relation between …

Equivalence Class Formation and Attitudes Toward Neurodevelopmental Disabilities
… 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
The present studies evaluated the effect of training structures on the development of equivalence classes in college students and individuals with intellectual disabilities. Experiment 1 evaluated the effects of two types of training structures, One-To-Many (OTM) (AB, AC, AD), and Many-To-One (MTO) …

Conditional Discrimination and Stimulus Equivalence: Effects of Suppressing Derived Symmetrical Responses on the Emergence of Transitivity.
… 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 the second …

Developing Auditory Discrimination Skills in First Grade
… to review research done in the area of auditory discrimination to discover how auditory discrimination is related to reading, its importance to reading and whether or not it merits the time required for developing auditory discrimination skills. The second objective was to formulate a collection …

The establishment of auditory discrimination in children with autism
… with autism may perform poorly on some auditory discrimination tasks. In this study three participants, one child with autism and two typically developed children in the age 6 – 11 years old were trained to establish auditive discrimination through successive- and simultaneous discrimination …

Transforming Words Into Action: Factors Predicting Social Justice Engagement Among Psychology Doctoral Students
… predict greater orientation towards confronting discrimination. Social justice self-efficacy was not shown to mediate the relationship between privilege awareness (White, heterosexual, male) and political and social advocacy or confronting discrimination. Training implications and future …

Recognizing the Other: Training's Ability to Improve Other Race Individuation
… by name with individual characteristics. Discrimination training regimes derived from animal research for use in humans have demonstrated efficacy at improving discrimination of novel stimuli after several hours of training because participants are motivated to remember the face as an …

Establishing Bidirectional Symmetry in Children Learning English as a Second Language
… evaluated the effectiveness of multiple exemplar training (MET) on the facilitation of bidirectional symmetry-like relations (object-naming) for typically developing children (ages 3-4 yrs) whose first language was Spanish. Two experiments were conducted in which a multiple probe design was …

The Neural Substrates Supporting the Inhibition of Instrumental Avoidance Behavior
… during extinction in a familiar or novel training context. The findings indicated a role for the amygdala in the contextual specificity of extinction memories and the initiation of extinction-related plasticity in cingulothalamic brain areas. A third study examined the neural correlates of …

The effects of graduated stimulus change on learning efficiency in a visual discrimination task
… efficiency produced by two different methods of discrimination training among regular placement fifth-grade pupils. It was designed to explore possible between-group differences in rate of learning, length of training, mastery rate, recall of learning, and task persistence following training. The …

Recombinative Generalisation and Psycholinguistic Grain Size: An Investigation of Reading Related Skills in Adult Readers and Children with Learning Difficulties
… the current thesis was to further develop a MTS training protocol to facilitate recombinative generalisation. Additionally, this research aimed to extend the use of such MTS procedures by exploring ways in which the training protocol could be applied to help support recognition of the wide …

EFFECTS OF STIMULUS COMPLEXITY, SUBJECT AGE, AND STIMULUS CODING ON SELECTIVE STIMULUS CONTROL
… 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 differentially to …
