Abstract:
This study was conducted to assess the relative effectiveness of exclusion vs. selection (modified trial-and-error) training in establishing auditory-visual conditional relations. The study was conducted with children who had problems learning in school, but were otherwise normally intellectually capable. Single-subject methodology was used. Each child was exposed to the exclusion and selection conditions twice each in varied order. The exclusion-training procedure proved significantly more effective not only in teaching new auditory-visual conditional relations but also in generating emergent naming of the visual stimuli.

Higher-order, or second-order, conditioning occurs when a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an already established conditioned stimulus through repeated pairings. For instance, if a dog has been...
Generalization, Discrimination, and Extinction
Generalization occurs when a behavior reinforced in one context is performed in similar situations. For instance, a student who studies diligently for calculus and receives excellent grades might apply the same study habits to psychology and history, expecting similar results. Generalization shows how learning in one setting can influence behavior in...
