A transformation of self-discrimination response functions in accordance with the arbitrarily applicable relations of sameness, more-than, and less-than
Open accessAbstract
In Experiment 1, 2 experimental subjects were given pretraining of nonarbitrary relations that brought their responses under the control of four contextual stimuli; same, opposite, more than, and less than. One control subject was not exposed to this pretraining. The 2 pretrained subjects and the 3rd nonpretrained subject then received training in six arbitrary relations, the following four relations being the most critical: same/A1‐B1, same/A1‐C1, less than/A1‐B2, more than/A1‐C2. All 3 subjects were then tested for seven derived relations, the following three relations being the most important: same/B1‐C1, more than/B1‐C2, less than/B1‐B2. The 2 pretrained subjects, but not the nonpretrained subject, showed the derived relations. One of the stimuli (B1) from the relational network and two novel stimuli (X1 and X2) were then used to train three different self‐discrimination responses on three complex schedules of reinforcement. That is, all 3 subjects were trained to pick X1 if they had not emitted a response, to pick B1 if they had emitted one response only, and to pick X2 if they had emitted two responses only. The 2 pretrained subjects, but not the nonpretrained subject, showed the predicted transformation of self‐discrimination response functions in accordance with the relations of sameness, more than, and less than (i.e., no response, pick B2; one response only, pick C1; and two responses only, pick C2). In Experiment 2, 2 new subjects were employed, and the arbitrary relational training and testing phases were modified to control for a procedural artifact that may have contributed to the results of the first experiment. Experiment 2 replicated the findings of Experiment 1. The pattern of results support the utility of a relational frames approach to understanding derived stimulus relations.

Cognition alters the effects of other behavioral processes.
“cognition alters the effects of other behavioral processes”
From Acceptance and commitment therapy: model, processes and outcomes (2006) · cites this paper as Dymond & Barnes, 1995
The Results and Discussion report that derived relations of sameness, more-than, and less-than transformed self-discrimination response functions established on reinforcement schedules. This supports a specific example of learned relations changing behavioral functions, but the paper does not establish the broader claim that cognition generally alters the effects of other behavioral processes.

“From an RFT perspective, the bidirectionality of relational frames provides a ready explanation for the difference, and indeed RFT research has shown that human self-discrimination responses readily participate in derived relations (Dymond & Barnes, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
