In order to correctly perform the behavior required of a response chain,a subject must learn

If Kanzi wanted to run to the place where cola is kept in the woods,the sentence he would be most likely to communicate would be

Which of the following is not a consideration of nonhuman language learning?

Why has determining whether nonhuman animals are capable of learning language come to be considered an unimportant question? What do modern investigations of animal language attempt to determine?

To increase the speed of your subject's internal clock,you could

According to the information processing model of timing,which of the following is not part of the clock process?

Which of the following is not true of the internal clocks of rats?

Monkeys were trained to press five buttons,"A" through "E," in alphabetical order.When presented with the smaller subset of keys "B" and "D," they were able to press these keys in order also.This suggests the monkeys learned

A simultaneous stimulus array cannot be solved by learning

Which of the following is not a component of linguistic competence?

Monkeys were trained to respond sequentially in a simultaneous stimulus array procedure.After training,which of the following sets of test stimuli will lead to the longest latency to press the second key?

A trial begins with presentation of a discriminative stimulus.If the stimulus is a light,a food pellet reinforcer will be set up after 20 seconds and can be earned with a lever press.If the stimulus is a tone,a food pellet reinforcer will be set up after 40 seconds and can be earned with a lever press.Test trials involve recording the subject's responses over 80 non-reinforced seconds.This procedure is called

Attempts to determine if nonhuman animals are capable of language have led to the conclusion that

Compare and contrast the scalar expectancy model of timing and the behavioral theory of timing.

After learning to press five keys,"A" through "E," in alphabetical order,monkeys were given tests in which subsets of two keys were presented.A comparison of the latencies to press the second key revealed that as the number of letters missing between the two test keys increased,(BD) versus (BE) for example,the latency to press the second key _____,suggesting that the monkeys were using mental scanning to perform the task.

Compare and contrast perceptual and abstract concept learning.

A task in which the discriminative stimulus is the length of time of an event is referred to as a _____ task.

Which of the following is not a feature important to the behavioral theory of timing?
