• Effects of meaningful stimuli contained in different numbers of classes on equivalence class formation 

      Mensah, Justice; Arntzen, Erik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Previous experiments have investigated the function of using pictures or meaningful stimuli on equiv- alence class formation. For example, when attempting to form three 5-member classes (A → B → C → D → E), ...
    • The Expression of equivalence classes influenced by distractors during DMTS test trials 

      Arntzen, Erik; Vie, Aleksander (European Journal of Behavior Analysis;14(1), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      When training and testing are conducted with trials presented in a delayed matching to sample (DMTS) format, mediating behaviors may occur during the delay that separates sample offset and comparison onset. In some cases, ...
    • A family study of symbolic learning and synaptic plasticity in autism spectrum disorder 

      Granerud, Guro; Elvsåshagen, Torbjørn; Arntzen, Erik; Juhasz, Katalin; Emilsen, Nina Merete; Sønderby, Ida Elken; Nærland, Terje; Malt, Eva Albertsen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The current study presents a male with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and a 3q29 deletion, and three healthy first-degree relatives. Our magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) dataset included a healthy control subset. We describe ...
    • On the role of trial types in tests for stimulus equivalence 

      Eilifsen, Christoffer; Arntzen, Erik (European Journal of Behavior Analysis;10(2), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      Some studies which have shown that differences in outcome on tests for stimulus equivalence dependent on different training structures, have run the tests as separate blocks without baseline trials interspersed in between ...
    • Preferences in equivalence classes by low potency benign valenced stimuli 

      Arntzen, Erik; Eilertsen, Jon Magnus; Fagerstrøm, Asle (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      The focus of the present experiment was to study variables in fluencing preferences in choice situations through equivalence class formation and transfer of function. Three 3-member equivalence classes (ABC) were formed ...
    • Social categorization and stimulus equivalence: A systematic replication 

      Strand, Rebekka; Arntzen, Erik (The Psychological Record;70, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-02)
      A systematic replication of Watt, Keenan, Barnes, and Cairns (1991) was conducted on two groups of Norwegian soccer supporters. The 24 participants were trained conditional discriminations for the emergence of three 3-member ...
    • Social significant stimuli in training of conditional discriminations in participant with neurocognitive disorder 

      Steingrimsdottir, Hanna Steinunn; Brogård-Antonsen, Anette; Boye-Hansen, Silje; Aasland, Heidi Grete; Arntzen, Erik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Forgetting names can be demanding for individuals diagnosed with neurocognitive disorders (NCD). The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of different lengths of inter-trialintervals (ITIs) while employing two ...
    • Stimulusekvivalens og Event-relaterte Potensialer 

      Granerud, Guro; Arntzen, Erik (Norsk Tidsskrift for Atferdsanalyse (NTA);2021, 48, 243 - 251 Nummer 2 (VINTER 2, Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Elektroencefalografi (EEG) benyttes for å måle hjernens elektriske aktivitet og kan brukes som et korrelasjonsmål ved test for stimulusekvivalens. Event-relaterte potensialer (ERP) er målt ved gjennomsnitt av EEG. N400 er ...
    • Training and testing parameters in formation of stimulus equivalence: methodological issues 

      Arntzen, Erik (European Journal of Behaviour Analysis;13(1), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Research on stimulus equivalence has been prominent for more than 40 years in behavior analysis. The present article will focus on issues related to methodological considerations in stimulus equivalence research. An ...
