Finite Integer Analysis Of Individual Subject Protocols During Eyelid Conditioning, Joseph B. Hellige Jan 1976

Finite Integer Analysis Of Individual Subject Protocols During Eyelid Conditioning, Joseph B. Hellige

Psychological Science Faculty Works

Theios (1972) has proposed that during classical eyelid conditioning the conditioned response protocols of “voluntary” responders (Vs) will require an additional stage, relative to “conditioned” responders (Cs), to be adequately described. In a test of this hypothesis, individual subject protocols from eyelid conditioning experiments using both classical and avoidance modes of reinforcement were subjected to finite integer analysis (Theios, 1968). During both modes of reinforcement, a two-state Markov model was found to provide an adequate description of most individual protocols for both Cs and Vs. In addition, there were no indications that Vs give predominantly C-form conditioned responses at the …


Changes In Same-Different Laterality Patterns As A Function Of Practice And Stimulus Quality, Joseph B. Hellige Jan 1976

Changes In Same-Different Laterality Patterns As A Function Of Practice And Stimulus Quality, Joseph B. Hellige

Accuracy and reaction time (RT) of judgments about sameness vs. difference of (a) names of two letters and (b) shapes of two nonverbal forms were examined for stimuli presented to the center, left (LVF), and right (RVF) visual fields. For same-name letter pairs during Experiment I, responses were more accurate and faster for LVF than for RVF trials on an initial 90-trial block, but this difference was reversed by a third 90-trial block. The RVF advantage for RT was maintained over Trial Blocks 4 and 5, given during a second session, but had disappeared on Trial Blocks 6 through 9 …
