After participants completed training, probes verified whether the conditional relationships learned were controlled by selection (e.g., if A1, select B1), by rejection (e.g., if A1, reject B2), or both.
After achieving a learning criterion, participants were exposed to symmetrical trials (BA relations) with the introduction of new stimuli to evaluate the establishment of control by selection and rejection.
Observing the stimuli selected and, more specifically, the duration of eye fixation on each alternative, can be used to assess the establishment of control by selection or rejection (Kato et al. 2008; Wilkinson and McIlvane 1997).
However, the low variability we observed in performance does not exclude the possibility of a relationship between the duration of eye fixation and the establishment of controlling by selection or rejection.
New variants propagate across a speech community as a result of a process of selection and rejection by language users who evaluate all variations with respect to their social, articulatory, perceptual, and lexical-systematic dimensions.
In this study, we determine sequence elements associated with preferential miRNA strand selection and/or rejection by analyzing the sequence composition and relative expression levels of miRNA pairs originating from two strands of the same precursor duplex in high-throughput sequencing data from humans and flies.
Meeting this objective, we processed the microarray mRNA data set by heuristic statistical manipulations accompanied by a systematic selection and rejection scheme described in supplementary data.
In summary, the participants in the Keyboard condition made a total of eight errors, six in the probe trials that evaluated controlling by selection and two in the trials that evaluated controlling by rejection.
In the Mouse condition, six errors were observed, with only one error in the trials that evaluated controlling by selection and five errors in the trials that evaluated controlling by rejection.
The aim of the study was to compare eye movements during the training of selection and rejection control conditional relationships based on the procedure used by Johnson and Sidman (1993).
The black bars represent the number of correct responses in probe trials that evaluated controlling relations by rejection, and the gray bars represent the number of correct responses in probe trials that evaluated controlling by selection.
