Abstract
The authors (researchers at the Leiden U, Behaviour Analysis Unit, Netherlands) examined emergent form discrimination through contiguity of forms with colors associated with different magnitudes of reinforcement, in 3 experiments. Results show that Ss acquired new discriminations under non-reinforced conditions through contiguity with differentially reinforced stimulus element stimuli. Findings support the stimulus-response interaction model for specifying transfer.
