The effect of pre-training of abstract stimuli to exert control over tact and mand responses on stimulus equivalence class formation.
(International Journal of Psychology and Psychological Therapy;Volume 20 Num. 3, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-10)Recent studies show that the formation of stimulus equivalence classes can be enhanced by meaningful stimuli. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether acquired meaningfulness, through pretraining of meaningless ... -
Effect of Precompression and Material Uncertainty on the In-Plane Behavior of URM Pier–Spandrel Systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Theoretical and experimental studies on loadbearing masonry walls have shown the significant influence of the axial load level (i.e., precompression) and wall aspect ratio on in-plane lateral resistance. Nonetheless, the ... -
