Following 80 differential eyelid-conditioning trials during which members of a set of 4 4-letter names of mammals were reinforced with the airpuff and members of a set of 4 7-letter names of birds were not (or vice versa), 80 undergraduates were given 40 transfer trials with 8 new words all paired with a delayed airpuff. The transfer words were 2 4-letter and 2 7-letter names of mammals, and 2 4-letter and 2 7-letter names of birds. Each S was classified as a V or a C in terms of his conditioned response topography. Both Vs and Cs may have encoded the training stimuli in terms of taxonomic category rather than in terms of word length, but only the Vs transferred their conditioned discrimination to the new words by responding more frequently to the taxonomic category that had been reinforced during training. There was no evidence that Vs transferred in terms of the word length that had been reinforced, and the Cs showed no differential transfer. The findings provide further evidence of the nature of the differences between Vs and Cs in eyelid conditioning.
Transfer of differential eyelid conditioning: Effects of semantic and formal features of verbal stimuli
Abstract
Following 80 differential eyelid-conditioning trials during which members of a set of 4 4-letter names of mammals were reinforced with the airpuff and members of a set of 4 7-letter names of birds were not (or vice versa), 80 undergraduates were given 40 transfer trials with 8 new words all paired with a delayed airpuff. The transfer words were 2 4-letter and 2 7-letter names of mammals, and 2 4-letter and 2 7-letter names of birds. Each S was classified as a V or a C in terms of his conditioned response topography. Both Vs and Cs may have encoded the training stimuli in terms of taxonomic category rather than in terms of word length, but only the Vs transferred their conditioned discrimination to the new words by responding more frequently to the taxonomic category that had been reinforced during training. There was no evidence that Vs transferred in terms of the word length that had been reinforced, and the Cs showed no differential transfer. The findings provide further evidence of the nature of the differences between Vs and Cs in eyelid conditioning.Preview Only.
