Stimulus equivalence and rule following.

L J Hayes, S Thompson, S C Hayes

    Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior
    |November 1, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study shows how combining musical stimuli into equivalence classes can create novel performances and descriptions. Experimenter-given names for these classes had little impact on musical behavior in new participants.

    Area of Science:

    • Behavioral Psychology
    • Cognitive Science
    • Music Cognition

    Background:

    • Equivalence classes are fundamental in understanding complex behavior.
    • Novel stimulus configurations can elicit emergent behaviors.
    • The role of naming in learned associations is crucial for cognitive development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate novel behavior patterns arising from stimulus equivalence classes.
    • To examine the formation of new musical performances and descriptions from compounded stimuli.
    • To assess the influence of experimenter-provided names on equivalence class learning.

    Main Methods:

    • Establishing functional substitutabilities between musical stimuli to form equivalence classes.
    • Compounding stimuli from different equivalence classes to create novel configurations.
    • Comparing musical performances of naive subjects with and without experimenter-provided class names.

    Main Results:

    • Combined behavioral components from equivalence classes produced novel musical performances and accurate descriptions.
    • Few significant differences were observed in musical performances when classes were named versus unnamed.
    • The study demonstrated a method for analyzing rule-following behavior.

    Conclusions:

    • Stimulus equivalence provides a framework for generating complex, emergent behaviors in music.
    • Explicit naming of equivalence classes may not be essential for behavioral performance.
    • This research offers insights into the cognitive mechanisms underlying rule following and creative expression.
