Comparing two procedures to teach conditional discriminations: simple discriminations with and without S- stimuli present.

The present study systematically replicated Gutierrez et al. (2009) in which two methods of teaching a conditional auditory-visual discrimination were examined. Gutierrez evaluated relations taught either with or without an S- stimulus present during teaching. After teaching, a test of conditional d...
