      Formålet med dette eksperimentet var å gjøre en systematisk replikasjon av Eksperiment 4 i studien til Arntzen (2006) ved å undersøke om respondering i henhold til stimulusekvivalens forekom i en delayed matching-to-sample ...
    • The effect of pre-training of abstract stimuli to exert control over tact and mand responses on stimulus equivalence class formation. 

      Antunes de Oliveira, Marileide; Arntzen, Erik (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 ...

      Murray Sidman's contributions to the science of behavior span many areas including avoidance behavior, coercion and its effects, stimulus control, errorless learning, programmed learning, stimulus equivalence, and ...
    • Navngiving og emergens av stimulusekvivalensklasser hos barn 

      Augland, Hanne; Arntzen, Erik (Norsk Tidsskrift for Atferdsanalyse;Nummer 2 (VINTER 2020), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Rollen navngivning har ved emergens av ekvivalensklasser har lenge vært omdiskutert. Navngiving har blant annet blitt foreslått som unødvendig, men med en mulig fasiliterende rolle. I den presenterte studien deltok fem ...
    • On the effectiveness of including meaningful pictures in the formation of equivalence classes 

      Arntzen, Erik; Mensah, Justice (Journal of The Experimental Analysis of Behavior;Volume 113, Issue 2, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-12)
      In three experiments, 165 adult participants were trained on 12 baseline conditional discriminations and tested for the formation of three 5-member equivalence classes (AàBàCàDàE). All experiments included two reference ...

    • Role of Distractors in Delayed Matching-to-Sample Arrangements in Tests for Emergent Relations 

      Vie, Aleksander; Arntzen, Erik (International Journal of Psychology and Psychological Therapy;Volume 19, Num. 1, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-03)
      Some studies have presented math tasks as distractors in Delayed Matching-to-Sample (DMTS) procedures between the offset of the sample stimulus and the onset of the comparison stimuli in tests for equivalence class formation. ...
    • Stimulus-equivalence technology to teach skills about nutritional content 

      Arntzen, Erik; Eilertsen, Jon Magnus (Perspectives on Behavior Science;Volume 43, Number 3, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-21)
      Abstract Twenty-two adult participants, assigned to three conditions, were trained nutrition knowledge (i.e., carbohydrate values) for different food items. In a stimulus sorting test, the participants were asked to sort ...
