Abstract
Forty Ss received 160 presentations of each of four word-pairs in a variation of the noncontingent binary-choice probability learning paradigm. Successive presentations of any given word-pair were separated by the interpolated presentations of other word-pairs. For each pair, one of the words was designated as correct on a randomly-chosen 70% of the presentations while the other word was correct on the remaining 30% of the presentations. Inspection of asymptotic response probabilities, which approximated the reinforcement probabilities, and first-order conditional probabilities indicated that this method of stimulus presentation may provide a less ambiguous test of the assumptions of certain mathematical models than is afforded by the standard probability learning paradigm.
