What is it about?
This research explored the effect of teaching conditional discriminations with three procedures on the derivation of 36 stimuli relations (derived relations). The stimuli used consisted of three characteristics musical instruments, along with the corresponding picture.

Why is it important?
The results indicate that training with simple stimuli on discriminations that include stimuli that are easy to discriminate from each other (words and sounds) is a sufficient condition for good posttest performance. However, when comparisons are made difficult (words only), participants show better performance on new tests if they have a learning history with compound stimuli.

This research produces a methodological improvement over previous work, namely: a more robust research design, larger sample numbers, and the inclusion of statistical tests and analysis of compound stimulus relationships.
