ACQUISITION OF THE ODDITY CONCEPT IN THE CHIMPANZEE.
Abstract
The purpose of this research was the description and quantification of response regularities observed in the subject's acquisition of the oddity concept. A procedure was employed which presented many unique problems using each discriminandum as both a positive and a negative instance; this procedure was designed to eliminate correct performance by nonrelational responding. Naive Ss with minimal pre-training experience were used to allow identification of response tendencies which existed in the S's response hierarchy prior to experimental sophistication. (Author)
