The Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure: Exploring the Impact of Private Versus Public Contexts and the Response Latency Criterion on Pro-White and Anti-Black Stereotyping Among White Irish Individuals

Dermot Barnes-Holmes, Aisling Murphy, Yvonne Barnes-Holmes, Ian Stewart

The Psychological Record > 2010 > 60 > 1 > 57-79

The current research comprised two experiments that employed the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP) as a measure of implicit racial attitudes. White Irish participants were exposed to blocks of trials that involved responding in a manner consistent with either a pro-white stereotype or a pro-black stereotype. In Experiment 1, participants completed the IRAP in either a public or private...

Self-Control and Impulsiveness in Nondieting Adult Human Females: Effects of Visual Food Cues and Food Deprivation

Lori-Ann B. Forzano, John J. Chelonis, Caitlin Casey, Marion Forward, more

The Psychological Record > 2010 > 60 > 4 > 587-608

Self-control can be defined as the choice of a larger, more delayed rein-forcer over a smaller, less delayed reinforcer, and impulsiveness as the opposite. Previous research suggests that exposure to visual food cues affects adult humans’ self-control. Previous research also suggests that food deprivation decreases adult humans’ self-control. The present experiment used 11 adult human females who...

Emergence of Complex Intraverbals Determined by Simpler Intraverbals

Luis Antonio Pérez-González, Carlota Belloso-Díaz, María Caramés-Méndez, Benigno Alonso-Álvarez

The Psychological Record > 2014 > 64 > 3 > 509-526

This research explored some factors involved in the emergence of intraverbals as demonstrated by Pérez-González, Herszlikowicz, and Williams (2008) in three experiments. Eleven adults learned to say the chemical elements corresponding to two chemical groups (the A-B relations) and to say the atomic numbers of two elements (the B-C relations). Thereafter, we probed the relations that result from combining...

Identity and Delay Functions of Meaningful Stimuli: Enhanced Equivalence Class Formation

Erik Arntzen, Richard K. Nartey, Lanny Fields

The Psychological Record > 2014 > 64 > 3 > 349-360

The inclusion of a meaningful stimulus in a set of abstract stimuli enhances the likelihood of forming an equivalence class with the set. Class enhancement effects can be due to the discriminative, conditional discriminative, and class-based behavioral functions served by the meaningful stimulus. This experiment determined whether acquisition of an identity conditional discriminative function by an...

Self-Control and Impulsiveness in Adult Humans: Comparison of Qualitatively Different Consumable Reinforcers Using a New Methodology

L. B. Forzano, J. L. Michels, M. Sorama, A. L. Etopio, more

The Psychological Record > 2014 > 64 > 4 > 719-730

Self-control can be defined as the choice of a larger, more delayed reinforcer over a smaller, less delayed reinforcer, and impulsiveness as the opposite. Previous experiments have shown that type or quality of reinforcer used affects self-control in humans. The purpose of the present series of experiments was to investigate the effects of qualitatively different reinforcers on the self-control of...

Effects of Training Structure and the Passage of Time on Trained and Derived Performance

Christoffer Eilifsen, Erik Arntzen

The Psychological Record > 2015 > 65 > 1 > 1-12

Conditional discriminations established using a linear series training structure were shown in a previous study to be intact when unreinforced trials assessing such performance were presented interspersed among stimulus equivalence test trials. Experimenter-defined correct performance on these trials was seen both for participants responding in accordance with stimulus equivalence and for some participants...
