Differential inhibition and stimulus generalization cannot account for value transfer in simultaneous discrimination learning by pigeons: Reply to Aitken (original) (raw)
1999, Animal Learning & Behavior
AI-generated Abstract
Aitken (1999) suggests that the observed value transfer in simultaneous discrimination tasks is an artifact of differential inhibition and stimulus generalization. In response, evidence is provided against these claims, showing insufficient support for differential inhibition and arguing that value transfer is most evident when there is minimal experience with the negative stimuli. The paper further discusses the failures of stimulus similarity to explain value transfer, advocating that the strongest evidence for such transfer emerges under conditions of less similarity between stimuli.
