The present paper reports three experiments that examine the role of sample stimulus-outcome (S-O) and of comparison or choice response stimulus-outcome (R-O) relations in the differential outcomes discrimination learning of five-year-old children. In these experiments, S-O relations or R-O relations were maintained or removed across two different conditional discrimination tasks. The results indicated...
The differential outcome effect (DOE) refers to the increase in speed of acquisition and terminal accuracy that occurs in conditional discrimination learning when two or more stimuli are correlated with a particular outcome. Previous studies demonstrated the benefits of the DOE in preschool children. In two experiments we extended the DOE methodology to older children and tasks of different difficulty...
