ResumoDois estudos ensinaram discriminações de estímulos compostos e avaliaram a emergência de classes de equivalência com dois procedimentos diferentes de teste. Em ambos os estudos, estudantes universitários foram submetidos a treino com discriminações simples simultâneas (DSS) e a emergência de classes de equivalência foi testada utilizando-se tanto um procedimento de DSS quanto de pareamento ao modelo. Os estudos diferiram quanto ao número de classes treinadas/ testadas. No Estudo 1, quatro de nove participantes demonstraram a emergência de relações transitivas e de equivalência. No Estudo 2, os cinco participantes demonstraram a emergência de todas as relações testadas. Não houve diferença nos resultados em função do tipo de teste. Os resultados fornecem suporte empírico para a noção de que elementos de um estímulo composto podem ser separados e recombinados sem que haja ruptura no controle discriminativo.Palavras-chave: Discriminações simples simultâneas, estímulos compostos, relações arbitrárias emergentes, estudantes universitários. AbstRActTwo studies taught college students to discriminate compound stimuli and assessed the emergence of equivalence classes using two different test procedures. In both studies, compound stimuli were presented in simple simultaneous discrimination (SSD) training and the emergence of equivalence classes was tested using both SSD and matching so sample procedures. The studies differed in the number of classes trained/tested. In Experiment 1, four out of nine participants showed the emergence of transitive and equivalence relations. In Experiment 2, all five participants showed the emergence of all relations tested. There was no difference in the results as a function of test type. The results provide empirical support for the notion that elements of a compound stimulus can be separated and recombined without disruption in discriminative control.

“…The AB-X failures could also be related to the experimental sequence. Unlike the study by Carpentier et al (2000), the AB-X training was preceded by matchto-sample training with single-element stimuli (A-B, P-Q). This training sequence may have encouraged the children to attend only to one element of the AB samples (Huguenin, 2000).…”

“…Previous studies have shown that, after a history of responding to a particular set of tasks (e.g., simple discriminations) or (unitary) stimuli, mentally young populations frequently do not adapt their performances when more complex tasks (e.g., conditional discriminations) or stimuli (compounds) are introduced (Singh & Solman, 1990;Smeets, Barnes, Schenk, & Darcheville, 1996;Stromer, Mcllvane, Dube, & Mackay, 1993). Specifically, the current research examined whether, following conditional discrimination training with unitary stimuli (A-B and P-O), procedures that had been successfully used for training the AB-X relations and testing transfer (PO-X) in older children and adults in previous research (Carpentier, Smeets, & Barnes-Holmes, 2000;Perez-Gonzalez, 1994, Perez-Gonzalez & Serna, 1993 would be appropriate for preschoolers.…”

“…During symmetry and transitivity tests these stimuli were decomposed and presented separately, sometimes as samples and sometimes as comparisons, to evaluate the established conditional relations (see also, Carpentier, Smeets, & Barnes-Holmes, 2000;Groskreutz, Karsina, Miguel, & Groskreutz, 2010;Guerrero, Alós, & Moriana, 2015;Maguire, Stromer, Mackay, & Demis, 1994;Pérez-González & Alonso-Álva-rez, 2008;Ribeiro, Miguel, & Goyos, 2015).…”

Simple simultaneous discrimination training (SSD) with compound stimuli has produced variability in results of stimulus equivalence tests. This paper presents two studies investigating the role of methodological variables that alter the chance of control by aspects not defi ned as relevant for the formation of stimulus equivalence classes. Study 1 evaluated the effect of using an incorrect compound (S-) for each correct compound (S+) in each SSD trial that granted the conditional discrimination context without redundancy (e.g., A1B1 with A1B2 or A1B1 with A2B1). Five undergraduate students learned basic discriminations and showed symmetrical and transitive relations. The second study assessed the effect of a redundant element (a black spot) included on compounds of one of the classes in a training procedure of arbitrary conditional relations with SSD. The effects of this manipulation were investigated on performance of emergent relation tests, using MTS and SSD. All twelve students showed symmetrical relations, but only fi ve showed transitive relations. These results expand the evidence that the confi guration of training trials and irrelevant characteristics of stimuli may generate false positives in discriminative training.Keywords: Simple simultaneous discrimination, compound stimuli, arbitrary emergent relations, undergraduate students.
