Some effects of light on sound intensity generalization
Tóm tắt
This study determined whether a sound intensity generalization gradient would be displaced laterally if extraneous light intensity were changed from training to test. The results showed that (a) when Ss were trained in the absence of a light, introduction of the light on generalization-test trials displaced the generalization gradient toward the weaker sound intensities, and (b) when Ss were trained in the presence of a light, omission of the light on generalization-test trials displaced the gradient toward the larger sound intensities.
