Abstract
Presented a verbal discrimination task with 1, 2, or 4 letter pairs to 174 undergraduates. The letters within each pair were reinforced on a .75-.25 probabilistic reinforcement schedule and reinforcement probability was conserved over 12 or 48 successive presentations of a given pair. Response tendencies dependent on the short-term sequencing of reinforcement events differed between groups. Analysis of variance tests sensitive to sequential dependencies yielded significance for 1- and 2-pair conditions but not for 4-pair conditions. Results are discussed in terms of the reduced role of sequential information in multiple- as compared to single-item probability learning. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
