a test to determine if a discrimination between two stimuli is based on the relationship between them, by presenting two test stimuli that share the same relationship
Peak Shift
a shift in the peak of the generalization gradient in a direction that is away from S-
Feature-Positive Discrimination
a discrimination in which an outcome is delivered during a compound of two stimuli, but not during one of the stimuli by itself
Negative Patterning
a discrimination in which an outcome is delivered during a each stimuli by itself, but not when they are presented as a compound
Configural Cue
a hypothetical stimulus that is assumed to be created by presenting two stimuli together. different pairs of stimuli are assumed to create different configural cues
Acquired Equivalence
the enhanced generalization between two or more stimuli as a result of them signaling similar outcomes
Acquired Distinctiveness
the reduced generalization between two or more stimuli as a result of them signaling different outcomes
Perceptual Learning
