Topography of Responses in Conditional Discrimination Influences Formation of Equivalence Classes.

The effects of response topography on stimulus class formation were studied in two experiments. In Experiment 1, 32 college students were assigned to 2 response topographies and 2 stimulus sets, in a 2 × 2 design. Students selected stimuli by either moving a mouse to place an arrow-shaped cursor on...

      ab: The effects of response topography on stimulus class formation were studied in two experiments. In Experiment 1, 32 college students were assigned to 2 response topographies and 2 stimulus sets, in a 2 × 2 design. Students selected stimuli by either moving a mouse to place an arrow-shaped cursor on the stimulus or pressing a key corresponding to stimulus location. After they learned conditional discriminations EF, DE, CD, BC, and AB and a simple simultaneous discrimination, tests for class formation were conducted. The number of students showing class formation was larger for the group using the mouse. Stimulus set had no effect. Experiment 2 included probes for controlling relations in the baseline and showed that the response topography using the mouse increases the probability of sample-S+ relations, thus increasing the probability of class formation.
