摘要
A series of three experiments was performed with retarded children in an effort to demonstrate that experimentally induced response strengths are transitive. Experiment I failed to make such a demonstration, leading to the hypothesis that the introduction of a novel transverse pattern into the test series led to the negative results. Experiments II and III, testing with transverse patterns equated for novelty, clearly succeeded in demonstrating transitivity. The close correspondence between data and theory supports the assumption that the underlying scale is a ratio scale. Additionally, Exp. I found that reinforced trials facilitated learning more than did nonreinforced trials. © 1969.
