Abstract
This experiment was designed to determine if the effects of acquired distinctiveness and equivalence pretraining depend upon the initial discriminability of the task stimuli. The Ss were assigned to one of eight experimental conditions, consisting of four types of stimulus pretraining and two levels of intralist stimulus similarity followed by a discriminative transfer task involving the same stimuli. Distinctiveness pretraining resulted in positive transfer, the amount of which was independent of the level of stimulus similarity. Equivalence pretraining did not result in any transfer at either level of stimulus similarity.
