Abstract
The present study examines the readiness with which equivalence classes can be formed involving gustatory stimuli, as compared with visual stimuli. In Experiment 1, two groups of normal adults were taught either visual-visual conditional discriminations or gustatory-visual conditional discriminations and were then tested to determine if classes of equivalent stimuli had formed. Equivalence classes eventually formed for all subjects. Gustatory-visual conditional discriminations required fewer training trials and equivalence classes based on these discriminations emerged in testing with fewer errors than was the case with visual stimuli. These findings were replicated within subjects in Experiment 2.
