Programmed Alteration of Perceptual and Conceptual Control Over Behavior: Two Papers,
Abstract
Two papers are presented. In the first, discrimination of differing triangles, perceptual stimuli, is established errorlessly in preschool children, where, without the sequence, such discrimination is extremely difficult. In the second paper, the sequence is used to establish conceptual control over behavior. The papers exemplify the 'fading' method, adapted from programmed instruction and derived from animal research. This involves programming the establishment of discrimination without error. The papers also indicate the behavioral similarity between discrimination, perception, and conceptualization. Uses of the procedure for research and training in these areas are suggested.
