Derived Stimulus-Response and Stimulus-Stimulus Relations in Children and Adults: Assessing Training Order Effects.
Smeets, Paul M.; Barnes-Holmes, Dermot; Roche, Bryan
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v78 n2 p130-54 Feb 2001
Trained preschoolers and adults on three sets of successive discriminations with stimuli labeled A, B, and R. Tested for derived stimulus-response relations and stimulus-stimulus relations. Adults displayed class-consistent B-R and A-B performances over all conditions. Children's display of class-consistent B-R performance varied by training protocol. Findings are consistent with stimulus equivalence account rather than mediated response account. (Author/KB)
