| dc.description.abstract | The present experiment examined the potential applicability of behavioral momentum theory to discrete-trial discrimination performances. The experiment asked if the persistence of stimulus control could be related to the rate of reinforcement for the discriminated operant. If momentum-like effects occur, a better understanding of them could contribute to more effective procedures for producing stimulus control change and transfer in experimental and applied settings. | |
