When the matching-to-sample (MTS) procedure is used, different training structures imply differences in the successive discriminations required in training and test conditions. When the go/no-go procedure with compound stimuli is used, however, differences in training structures do not imply such differences. This study assessed whether the go/no-go procedure with compound stimuli with different training structures would produce significant variations in emergent performances. Fourteen undergraduate students were divided into two training groups: OTM and MTO (one-to-many and many-to-one). During training, responses emitted in the presence of compounds defined as related were reinforced. Responses emitted in the presence of compounds defined as not-related were not. During tests, new compounds structurally emulated MTS equivalence tests. All participants finished training with comparable number of sessions and 13 of 14 showed emergent performances. These results suggest that differences in equivalence-test outcomes with OTM and MTO training structures in MTS procedures may be due to their different successive discrimination requirements.
当使用匹配样本(MTS)程序时,不同的训练结构意味着在训练和测试条件下所需的连续辨别存在差异。然而,当使用带有复合刺激的是/否程序时,训练结构的差异并不意味着存在此类差异。本研究评估了采用不同训练结构的带有复合刺激的是/否程序是否会在涌现表现上产生显著差异。14名本科生被分为两个训练组:OTM和MTO(一对多和多对一)。在训练期间,在呈现被定义为相关的复合刺激时发出的反应会得到强化。在呈现被定义为不相关的复合刺激时发出的反应则不会得到强化。在测试期间,新的复合刺激在结构上模拟了MTS等价性测试。所有参与者完成训练的次数相当,14人中有13人表现出了涌现表现。这些结果表明,在MTS程序中,OTM和MTO训练结构在等价性测试结果上的差异可能是由于它们不同的连续辨别要求。
