Minster, Sara Tepaeru; Elliffe, Douglas; Muthukumaraswamy, Suresh D. – Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2011
We aimed to investigate whether novel stimulus relations would emerge from stimulus correlations when those relations explicitly conflicted with reinforced relations. In a symbolic matching-to-sample task using kanji characters as stimuli, we arranged class-specific incorrect comparison stimuli in each of three classes. After presenting either Ax…

Navakatikyan, Michael A.; Davison, Michael – Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2010
Dynamical models based on three steady-state equations for the law of effect were constructed under the assumption that behavior changes in proportion to the difference between current behavior and the equilibrium implied by current reinforcer rates. A comparison of dynamical models showed that a model based on Navakatikyan's (2007) two-component…
