摘要:Over the past decade, many researchers have attempted to identify variables that affect the emergence and stability of equivalence classes (e.g. Sidman and Tailby, 1982). This laboratory has used reversal studies to examine emergent relational stimulus control (Pilgrim, Chambers, & Galizio, 1995; Pilgrim & Galizio 1990; 1995). In these reversal studies, match-to-sample procedures were used to train a series of arbitrary conditional discriminations and test for the emergence of equivalence classes. The original reinforcement contingencies were then altered and effects on the emergent properties of equivalence were assessed.
