Some effects of light on sound intensity generalizationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 437-438 - 2014
Donald D. Dorfman, Ralph Miller
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 train...... hiện toàn bộ
Tube feeding: Intestinal factors in gastric loadingSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 373-374 - 2013
Saul Balagura, Hans C. Fibiger
An experiment was performed to measure stomach retention as a function of stomach load in 60 female albino rats. Each group (N = 10) was loaded with 5, 12, or 25 ml of either isotonic saline or Metrecal. It was found that stomach retention was equal to stomach load only in the 5 ml condition. When greater loads were used, an increasing proportion of the loads passed into the intestine. Intestinal ...... hiện toàn bộ
A free-association test of the differential unlearning hypothesis of pseudomediationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 143-144 - 2013
Robert D. Seim, R. K. Penney
Three predictions, generated from the Mandler and Earhard postulates of pseudomediation, were considered in a three stage PA transfer situation designed to facilitate a mediatedchaining effect. Predictions of superior control condition performance in the second stage, and superior experimental condition performance in the third stage were supported. Free-association data failed to support a predic...... hiện toàn bộ
Factors affecting children’s alternation and choice behaviorsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 13 - Trang 65-66 - 2014
Sharon Mauley, Frank D. Miller
Following 0, 3, 6, 12, or 24 exposures to a red or a green tight, 6-, 7-, and 8-year-old children were required on each of 31 trials to choose either the familiarized or a nonfamiliarized light by pushing a button which activated the chosen light. Response duration (RD) on each trial was either 1 or 11 sec for all Ss. Frequency of choice of the nonfamiliarized stimulus was increased by familiariza...... hiện toàn bộ
Classical conditioning of attitudes as a function of source consensusSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 9 - Trang 465-466 - 2013
Robert Frank Weiss, Joyce Jettinghoff Weiss, Leo M. Chalupa
Employing the general approach which Neal Miller (1959) has called “extension of liberalized S-R theory,” an analogy was drawn between source consensus in attitude formation and UCS-strength in classical conditioning. 350 Ss were exposed to persuasive arguments advocated by a group source with five levels of consensus (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% of “the experts”). As in classical conditioning, respon...... hiện toàn bộ
Exploratory behavior in response to the spatial rearrangement of familiar stimuliSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 24 - Trang 117-118 - 2013
Kenneth J. Wilz, Ruth L. Bolton
The effects of the spatial rearrangement of familiar stimuli on exploratory behavior were studied in the Mongolian gerbil. Using an open-field situation, Ss were exposed to one or a number of stimuli in a particular spatial relation to each other and to the walls of the container. A rearrangement of these stimuli (or stimulus) subsequently evoked considerably more exploration than did the control ...... hiện toàn bộ
