Research Abstract

Emergence of stimulus equivalence was required for the development of the higher-ordered cognitive functions, such as face recognition and probablistic conditional discrimination, by non-handicapped adults and handicapped children. Stimulus equivalence with three and more nodes was hard to emerge when non-linguistic stimuli were used. And, everyday life situation, differential responding was needed for establishing and maintaining selectionbased verbal behavior when the delayed matching-to-sample was used. These results suggest that functional mediating response had effects on promoting stimulus and response equivalence. Stimulus equivalence and response equivalence could explain the emergence of verbal behavior. The former involves selection based responding and the latter involves differential responding. The emergence of prototype was observed when the hue dimension was used, but was not observed when graphic figures were used in pigeons. Stimulus equivalence did emerge in budgerigars, when differential responding was associated with the sample stimulus and when the auditory stimuli were associated with visual stimuli. However, stimulus equivalence did not emerge when such differential responding was formed in the latter case. Stimulus equivalence did not emerge for pigeons regardless of the association of the differential responding. These results were discussed in terms of the integration of stimulus
