Abstract

The present study yields the results of behavioral psychology experiments in which subjects were given nonarbitrary relational pretraining that brought their responses under the control of four contextual stimuli, namely, same, opposite, more-than and less-than. Transfer of stimulus control through equivalence relations and relational testing stability criteria are presented too.
