Pigeons' performance in the number‐left task
This study investigates the mechanisms that underlie pigeons' performance in the number‐left task. After producing x light flashes, pigeons had to choose between a standard option that delivered reinforcement after a fixed number of additional flashes, S = 4, and a number‐left option that delivered reinforcement after a variable number of additional flashes, L = 8 − x . In Experiment 1, pigeons were trained with forced and choice trials with 1 ≤ …
As duas faces de Janus da psicologia em Portugal
A fim de caracterizar o que se publica em Portugal nas revistas especializadas em psicologia, analisámos os artigos publicados desde 1996 até 2003 em três revistas: Psicologia: teoria, investigação e prática, associada à Universidade do Minho; Psychologica, associada à Universidade de Coimbra; e Análise Psicológica, associada ao Instituto Superior de Psicologia Aplicada, Lisboa. Após descrevermos a nacionalidade, género e filiação institucional d…
Context Effects in a Temporal Discrimination Task
Pigeons were trained on two temporal bisection tasks, which alternated every two sessions. In the first task, they learned to choose a red key after a 1-s signal and a green key after a 4-s signal; in the second task, they learned to choose a blue key after a 4-s signal and a yellow key after a 16-s signal. Then the pigeons were exposed to a series of test trials in order to contrast two timing models, Learning-to-Time (LeT) and Scalar Expectancy…
On the clarification of concepts
The authors argue that some of C R. Gallistel's (2007) and H. C Lau's (2007) solutions to the problems raised in the article by A. Machado and F. J. Silva (2007) are unlikely, logically inconsistent, or at odds with empirical evidence. In particular, Lau seems not to appreciate the necessity of clear and consistent psychological constructs before trying to map these constructs to brain structure and function. The authors conclude that conceptual …
Toward a richer view of the scientific method
Within the complex set of activities that comprise the scientific method, three clusters of activities can be recognized: experimentation, mathematization, and conceptual analysis. In psychology, the first two of these clusters are well-known and valued, but the third seems less known and valued. The authors show the value of these three clusters of scientific method activities in the works of the quintessential scientist Galileo Galilei. They th…
