Examining the Relationship between Variability in Acquisition and Variability in Extinction (open access)

Examining the Relationship between Variability in Acquisition and Variability in Extinction

Using the "revealed operant" technique, variability during acquisition and extinction was examined with measures of response rate and a detailed analysis of response topography. During acquisition, subjects learned to emit four response patterns. A continuous schedule of reinforcement (CRF) for 100 repetitions was used for each pattern and a 30 min extinction phase immediately followed. One group of subjects learned the response patterns via a "trial-and-error" method. This resulted in a wide range of variability during acquisition and extinction. Only one subject emitted a substantial amount of resurgent behavior. A second group of subjects was given instructions on what keys to press to earn reinforcers. This group had less variability in acquisition and extinction and resurgent responding was prevalent.

An Experimental Investigation on the Effects of Learning Style and Presentation Methods on Knowledge Acquisition in a University Classroom Environment (open access)

An Experimental Investigation on the Effects of Learning Style and Presentation Methods on Knowledge Acquisition in a University Classroom Environment

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of four learning styles (accommodator, assimilator, converger, and diverger) and two different presentation methods (traditional and computer-based) on knowledge acquisition in a university classroom.

The Role of a Point Loss Contingency on the Emergence of Derived Relations in the Absence of Original Relations (open access)

The Role of a Point Loss Contingency on the Emergence of Derived Relations in the Absence of Original Relations

The role of point loss for symmetrical relations introduced simultaneously with probe trials in the absence of original relations on all probe trial performances was evaluated. Training was completed after six conditional discriminations were established in two contexts. Point loss was introduced simultaneously with probe trials in the absence of original relations in the first context. Probe trials with no point loss in the absence of original relations were introduced in the second context. The simultaneous introduction of probe trials and the point loss contingency may in some cases prevent the emergence of an equivalence class in the context that contained the point loss as well as in the context where no point loss occurred.

Should Corrective Feedback Come Before or After Responding to Establish a "New" Behavior? (open access)

Should Corrective Feedback Come Before or After Responding to Establish a "New" Behavior?

The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal form and timing of feedback to establish a "new" behavior. It examined the relative effectiveness of delivering a corrective feedback immediately before the learner responds to a previously incorrect trial as compared to delivering a corrective feedback immediately after the incorrect response is made. Corrective feedback delivered immediately before the next opportunity to respond produced better learning than corrective feedback delivered immediately after a response. The Feedback Before condition decreased errors during training and increased acquisition rates. Results also indicated an interaction between time of feedback delivery and the complexity of the task. As the task complexity increased, the results were more dramatic in favor of the Feedback Before condition.

[A longhorn eating grass in a Denton field]

Photograph of a longhorn eating grass in a Denton field. The longhorn has a white torso dappled with orange splotches, pale tan legs, and an orange-brown neck and head. Its horns are a dark gray and a tag hangs from its left ear. The animal stands facing towards the left edge of the photo as it grazes. Standing in front of the animal in the right side of the photo is a second longhorn, its rear end facing the camera. The grass the longhorns eat is short and a mixture of yellow and green in color. In the distance beyond the longhorns is a blurry white fence. On the back of the physical photograph is a watermarked pattern of the text "Fujifilm pictro paper". There is also a label that reads "Texas longhorns within Denton city limits".
