Question

A pigeon was trained in a symbolic MTS procedure to peck a circle any time the sample is a square and to peck a vertical line any time the sample is a horizontal line. After several months of training, the pigeon is presented the circle as the sample stimulus for the first time. What are the researchers most likely testing? Reflexivity Transitivity Symmetry Tacting

Step 1

The pigeon is trained in a symbolic Matching-to-Sample (MTS) procedure. - If the sample is a square, the pigeon pecks a circle. (Square -> Circle) - If the sample is a horizontal line, the pigeon pecks a vertical line. (Horizontal Line -> Vertical Line) Show more…
