Midazolam Enhances Implicit Inference in Humans
People often make logically sound decisions using explicit reasoning strategies, but sometimes it pays to rely on more implicit ‘‘gut-level’’ intuition. The transitive inference paradigm has been widely used as a test of explicit logical reasoning in animals and humans, but it can also be solved in a more implicit manner. Some researchers have argued that the hippocampus supports relational mem...
متن کاملTransitive responding in animals and humans: Exaptation rather than adaptation?
In order to survive and reproduce, individual animals need to navigate through a multidimensional utility landscape in a near-optimal way. There is little doubt that the behaviourally more advanced species can bring cognitive competencies to bear on this difficult task. Among the cognitive abilities that are helpful in this context is transitive inference. This is typically the competency to de...
متن کاملThe structure of random ratio responding in humans.
Four experiments explored the rate and structure of human responding on random ratio (RR) schedules of reinforcement, using 3 different methods of analysis. All experiments demonstrated that responding on RR schedules was higher with intermediate ratio values-rates being higher on an RR-30 schedule than on either a RR-10 or RR-60 schedule. All experiments identified 2 distinct types of respondi...
متن کاملInfluences of task concreteness upon transitive responding in humans.
The derivation of the conclusion "Anna is bigger than Mary" from the premises "Anna is bigger than Paul" and "Mary is smaller than Paul" is considered an instance of transitive deduction. For a non-verbal presentation, the premise statements were here transformed into a multiple operant discrimination task. Adult subjects were trained with overlapping pairs of a six-member stimulus series A+B-,...
