Counting absolute numbers of items, from 1 to 8, in pigeons
Nov 01, 2009; ... Pigeons were trained in a forced choice task with four alternatives to categorize arrays consisting of 1, 3, 5, or 8 dots. Before the pigeons chose a comparison stimulus, they were required to peck each dot sequentially. A single peck to a dot, which was defined as an indicating response, ...
Behavioral momentum and relapse of extinguished operant responding
Nov 01, 2009; ... Previous experiments on behavioral momentum have shown that relative resistance to extinction of operant behavior in the presence of a stimulus depends on the rate of reinforcement associated with that stimulus, even if some of those reinforcers occur independently of the behavior. We present ...
Comparison of auditory and visual conditioning stimuli in delay eyeblink conditioning in healthy young adults
Nov 01, 2009; ... Classical eyeblink conditioning (EBC) has been widely used to probe cerebellar function in humans and nonhuman mammals. Although the neural pathways governing behavior in this task are well understood and fairly discrete, it remains unclear in the human literature how conditioned stimuli (CSs) ...
Generalization of causal efficacy judgments after evaluative learning
Nov 01, 2009; ... In three experiments, we examined the effect of response-outcome relations on human ratings of causal efficacy and demonstrated that such efficacy ratings transfer to novel situations through derived stimulus relations. Causal efficacy ratings were higher, and probability of an outcome given a ...
