Book excerpt: Stimuli that signal the consequences that are likely to follow behaviour control how, when, and where organisms behave. When more than one stimulus provides such information, each may exert some control over behaviour. Recent research suggests that such divided stimulus control depends on the relative ability of each stimulus to predict future reinforcers. The present thesis extended this finding in four experiments with pigeons. Experiment 1 showed that relative reinforcer rates determine divided control between separately trained stimuli that signalled the location of future reinforcers if the stimuli were spatially separated, but not if they were combined together. Experiment 2 was an extension of Experiment 1, and showed that reinforcer rates determine divided control between spatially separated stimuli that were trained together. In Experiment 3, relative reinforcer probabilities divided control between stimuli that signalled the time of future reinforcers, but such effects were small and time-dependent, probably because elapsed time also competed for behavioural control. Experiment 4 investigated divided control between elapsed time and a visual stimulus in a concurrent choice schedule, and showed that this division depends on elapsed time and the reliability with which visual stimuli signalled future reinforcer availability, but not on the reliability with which elapsed time signalled future reinforcer availability. Therefore, in general, stimuli that were better predictors of future reinforcers exerted stronger control over behaviour. These experiments extend the relation between relative reinforcer predictability and divided stimulus control to (1) separately trained stimuli, (2) spatially separated stimuli, (3) temporal discriminations, and (4) temporal and non-temporal stimuli. However, the effects of relative reinforcers on divided stimulus control were modulated by several factors, including the spatial configuration of the stimuli, the type of training procedure, changes in previously learned contingencies, elapsed time, and contingency discriminability. Therefore, the present thesis helps to establish the generality of the relation between relative reinforcers and divided stimulus control, but also highlights some of the potential limits of this generality. This thesis is a step towards a more comprehensive understanding of the complexities of stimulus control, and provides a platform for future research to investigate further the mechanisms underlying divided stimulus control.

Book excerpt: First published in 1984. The effects of contextual stimuli on the performance of conditioned behaviors have recently become the object of intense theoretical and empirical scrutiny. This book presents the work of researchers who have attempted to characterize the role of context in learning through direct experimental manipulation of these stimuli. Their work reveals that context has important and systematic effects upon the learning and performance of conditioned responses. The roles played by context are diverse and the problems confronted in attempting to evaluate and differentiate contextual functions are formidable. These considerations are discussed in the introductory chapter. The remaining chapters present an analysis of the role of context in Pavlovian, operant, and discrimination learning paradigms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it possible at present to identify a core cluster of theoretical ideas, concepts, and methods with which everyone working in the area of learning and cognition needs to be familiar? Would it be possible to make explicit the relationships that we feel do or must exist among the various subspecialties, ranging from conditioning through perceptual learning and memory to psycholinguistics, and to present these in a sufficiently organized way to help specialists and non-specialists alike in relating particular lines of research to the broader spectrum of activity? These questions were posed to a substantial number of investigators who were most active in developing the ideas and doing the research in the early 1970s. Originally published between 1975 and 1978, their response constitutes this 6-volume Handbook of Learning and Cognitive Processes. The volumes survey the research and theory on learning and cognitive processes that were rapidly developing at the time. The primary orientation was to concentrate on research and models aimed toward the development of general cognitive theory. They were up-to-date with regard to theoretical and technical developments, and sufficiently self-contained to be readable by anyone with a reasonable scientific background, regardless of their acquaintance with the technical jargon of particular specialties. Previously out of print, the Handbook is now available again, as a set or as individual volumes.
