As predicted, the confidence in “old” judgments to thematically related d…

Half of the Ss conditioned under each procedure were given 20 extinction trials with the UCS delayed …

  • Reversal and Nonreversal Shift Learning in Children as a Function of Two Types of Pretraining

Relevant pretraining required learning verbal labels for one or both of the stimulus dimensions in the discrimination tasks. An irrelevant pretraining control required learning labels for one or two stimulus dimensions other than those present in the discriminations. Pretraining had no effect on la…
