Abstract
This article presents a quantitative model of adaptation-level (AL) effects on stimulus generalization and integrates results from single stimulus, go-no-go, and choice discrimination training paradigms. The model accurately predicts (a) the gradualness of the shift in responding during the course of asymmetrical generalization testing, (b) the relation between the degree of asymmetry and the amount of shift, (c) the effect of overrepresenting certain stimuli during testing, and (d) the effect of varying the amount of training. With the discrimination training paradigms the effects of the degree of separation between the training stimuli (TSs) and of the relative frequency of their presentation during training and subsequent generalization testing are consistent with an extension of the basic model. Finally, new research is described affirming the applicability of the AL model to several infrahuman species
