Warker, Jill A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
Adults can rapidly learn artificial phonotactic constraints such as /"f"/ "occurs only at the beginning of syllables" by producing syllables that contain those constraints. This implicit learning is then reflected in their speech errors. However, second-order constraints in which the placement of a phoneme depends on another…

Influencing Children's Pregambling Game Playing via Conditional Discrimination Training
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Johnson, Taylor E.; Dixon, Mark R. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2009
Past research has demonstrated a transformation of stimulus functions under similar conditions using gambling tasks and adults (e.g., Zlomke & Dixon, 2006), and the present study attempted to extend this research. Experimenters exposed 7 children (ages 7 to 10 years) to a simulated board game with concurrently available dice differing only by…
