Contingent Associations and the Double-Function, Verbal-Discrimination Task.

Abstract

Three experiments examined the role of contingent associations in learning double-function, verbal-discrimination lists. Some 15-pair lists were constructed of category instances in such a way that the learning of three contingent associations based on category names would mediate correct performance for all 15 pairs. Results are reported and compared. (Modified author abstract)
