Abstract
This experiment was conducted to investigate the meaning and the position effects of pronouns in verbal conditioning of the Taffel type. In the experiment, 4 pronouns (Boku, Bokutachi, Kimi, Kimitachi) were the critical stimuli and the positions of 4 pronouns were equalized in the material as a whole. The meaning effect was seen: the response number of the first person group was significantly larger than that of the second person group in the operant, in the conditioning and in the generalization periods. In the high operant groups (the Boku and Bokutachi groups), no position effect was seen, but in the low operant groups (the Kimi and Kimitachi groups) and also in the control group the position effect was seen: Pronouns in the fourth step of the material was significantly less frequently selected than that in the first, the second and the third steps of the material. In this experiment Awareness the Generalization were also discussed.
