Derived stimulus relations

Question 1

Identity matching

Answer 1

Matching stimuli on the basis of physical similarity.

eg ‘APPLE and ‘APPLE’

Question 2

Arbitrary matching

Answer 2

Matching stimuli which bear no physical resemblance.

eg. an apple and a banana (fruit)

Question 3

Pure identity matching ‘reflection’

Answer 3

Reflexivity

Question 4

Bi-directionaliy of A-B relation

Answer 4

Symmetry

Question 5

A-C relation emergerd

Answer 5

Transitivity

Question 6

C-A relation

Answer 6

Combined symmetry and transitivity

Question 7

All stimuli become equivalent to each other as they refer to the same thing

Answer 7

Equivalence class

Question 8

A1

Answer 8

A = class member (picture, text, speech)
1 = class type (dog, cat etc.)

Question 9

3 chimps taught and tested with identity matching tasks. Were taught arbitrary relations and tested for symmetry. Failed tests for symmetry as could not reverse the arbitrary trained relation.

Answer 9

Dugdale and Lowe (2000)

Question 10

Mutual entailment

Answer 10

Same as symmetry

Question 11

Combinatorial entailment

Answer 11

Same as transitivity

Question 12

Transformation of functions

Answer 12

Something given function as a result of the derived relations training
