Abstract
Subjects completed a baseline stimulus matching procedure designed to produce
two symmetrical stimulus relations; A1–B1 and A2–B2. Using A1, B1,
and two novel stimuli, subjects were then trained to produce a common keypress
response for two stimuli and a second key-press response for two further
stimuli across two blocks of response training. During one block, the reinforcement
contingencies were consistent with baseline relations (i.e., A1 and
B1 shared a response function), whereas during the other block they were not.
Thirteen of 18 subjects who completed the procedure showed a response class
acquisition rate differential across the two test blocks in the predicted direction.
It is suggested that this procedure may serve as a behavior analytic alternative
to popular implicit tests. It provides a nonrelative measure of stimulus
association strength and may display superior procedural implicitness over
other tests.
