Generalized Break Equivalence I

摘要: The present study attempted to produce generalized break equivalence responding with 5 adult subjects. A Generalized Break Equivalence Pattern (GBEP) involved in accordance symmetry and transitivity but not new situations. That is, having been trained two conditional discriminations, A1- B1/A2-B2 B1-C1/B2-C2, subjects should the following derived relations; B1-A1, B2-A2, C1-B1, C2-B2, A1-C1, A2-C2, C1-A2, C2-A1. To achieve this goal, Phase 1 were exposed explicit training broken (A1-B1, A2-B2, B1-A2, B2-A1) 3 different stimulus sets (4 stimuli per set). They then B2-A2) In 2, Train Standard (i.e., discriminations A1-B1, B1-C1, B2-C2). Then they received C2-B2 [symmetry]; A2-C2 [transitivity], C2-A1 [break equivalence]) finally a nofeedback condition relations during Equivalence. This sequence was repeated three (6 Finally, tested for generalization of BEP set phase immediately after Generalization Test (GT). Three showed clear GBEp, subject produced very close result GBEP errors on transitive relation, failed show predicted pattern. These data provide some support suggestion that relational is an overarching or operant class.
