Learning and Remembering in Older Adults and Older Adults with Neurocognitive Disorders
(Skriftserien avhandling;(6), Peer reviewed; Doctoral thesis, 2015)Many countries face a demographic change with an aging society. Accompanying those changes are increased frequency in diseases that have their onset later in life. Among such diseases are neurocognitive disorders (NCDs) ... -
Meaningful Stimuli and the Enhancement of Equivalence Class Formation
(Skriftserien avhandling;(2), Peer reviewed; Doctoral thesis, 2015)After the direct training of baseline conditional relations, the emergence of derived relations that have the properties of reflexivity, symmetry and transitivity documents the formation of equivalence classes. Studies ... -
Reinforcers as Predictors of Outcome in Behavioral Interventions for Autism
(Skriftserien avhandling;(1), Peer reviewed; Doctoral thesis, 2015)There is ample support for interventions based on Applied Behavior Analysis as effective in teaching children with autism skills that they lack. However, studies consistently report large variations in outcomes. Given ... -
Topographic Bias and Variability within Non-Criterial Components of the Operant Class
(OsloMet Avhandling 2019; Nr 27, Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 2019)Topographic bias and behavioral variability are two fundamental characteristics of the operant class, and are present to some degree in all experimental analysis of behavior, whether measurable or not. They represent the ... -
When Behavior Analysis Meets Machine Learning; Formation of Stimulus Equivalence Classes and Adaptive Learning in Artificial Agents
(OsloMet Avhandling 2021;Nr 3, Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 2021)In this thesis, two well studied subjects in behavior analysis are computationally modeled; formation of stimulus equivalence classes, and adaptive learning. The former is addressed in Study I and Study II, while the latter ...
