Effects of Reinforcement History on Stimulus Control Relations
Ray (1969) conducted an experiment on multiple stimulus-response relations and selective attention. Ray's (1969) results suggested that stimulus-response relations function as behavioral units. McIlvane and Dube (1996) indicated that if stimulus-response relations are behavioral units the effects …

Stimulus Control in the King Snake (<em>Lampropeltis getulus getulus</em>)
<p>Four Southeastern king snakes (<em>Lampropeltis getulus getulus</em>) were conditioned to discriminate between two pigeon keys when one was associated with water reinforcement and the other with extinction. There was also some evidence that a partial discrimination reversal could be …

Establishing imitative behavior and stimulus control in retarded children using peer trainers
… trainers in a new setting was also demonstrated. Stimulus control of imitative responding was achieved when the reinforcing and non-reinforcing trainers for each trainee reversed those roles. Imitative responding to both trainers was recovered when both trainers reinforced trainees' correct …

Observation of training room stimuli in determining stimulus control and transfer of training
… children participated in an assessment of stimulus control and transfer of training. Each subject was taught to perform a simple, nonverbal, imitative task in a training room, and transfer to a novel setting was assessed. During training, subjects were video-taped in order to determine how …

EFFECTS OF STIMULUS COMPLEXITY, SUBJECT AGE, AND STIMULUS CODING ON SELECTIVE STIMULUS CONTROL
<p>Selective stimulus control refers to the functional relationships that are developed between the various stimulus elements of a discriminative stimulus and the subject's response. A multi-element conditional discrimination problem is an effective means of studying these relationships. In the …

Actions and Names: Observing Responses and the Role of Multiple Stimulus Control in Incidental Language Acquisition
… the opportunity to observe multiple aspects of a stimulus. A Naming experience was created in which the stimulus was presented with visual and auditory characteristics, such that the participant heard the name of an object while observing an action demonstrated with the object. The dependent …

The influence of stimulus control on the effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on experimental ischaemic pain
… of TENS for pain-relief including the degree of control and the frequency of TENS. The study investigated the influence of giving subjects control of the TENS stimulus on reported pain intensity and unpleasantness during experimental ischaemic pain induction of the arm. The pain induction and …

CONDITIONED REINFORCEMENT FROM SHOCK TERMINATION.
… study addressed the question of whether or not a stimulus paired with the termination of shock would acquire a positive conditioned reinforcing function. Previous investigators have suggested that a stimulus paired with shock termination must increase the frequency of a response upon which it is …

Competing Arbitrary and Non-Arbitrary Stimulus Relations in Adults, Normally Developing Children and Children with a Diagnosis of Autism
… (2002) who reported that competing non-arbitrary stimulus relations disrupted equivalence-consistent responding in adult humans. Chapter 1 provides a review of research into stimulus equivalence, derived relational responding, and notes that the Colour-Test condition presented in the Stewart et …

Validating non-motivated methods and equipment for studying mouse olfactory behavior
… assays. Difficulties maintaining stimulus control arose during testing as mice routinely detected volume-to-volume concentrations of amyl acetate diluted in mineral oil below reported thresholds (1x10<sup>-8</sup>: n = 8, p < 0.05). Stimulus control was corrected by using …

Intention Discrimination and Attribution
