In Experiment 1, positive patterning (A −, B− , AB+ ) was trained interleaved with non-reinforced presentations of an additional stimulus (C −). Then responding to new compounds consisting of either already trained elements (AC, BC) or new elements (DE) was examined. In Experiment 2, negative patterning (A +, B+ , AB− ) was trained interleaved with reinforced presentations of an additional stimulus (C +). Again, we examined responding to new compounds consisting of either already trained elements (AC, BC) or new elements (DE). In both experiments the initial patterning discrimination was solved successfully. The response patterns to the test compounds in both experiments were in contradiction to configural accounts of associative learning. In positive patterning human participants seemed to utilize 'number' or some other abstract feature in preference to available concrete stimuli. In negative patterning the abstract dimension of 'separate-versus-together' or 'opposite' was used.
