Informed by a scientific tradition that...

متن کاملRule-governed behavior: teaching a preliminary repertoire of rule-following to children with autism.
Rule-governed behavior is generally considered an integral component of complex verbal repertoires but has rarely been the subject of empirical research. In particular, little or no previous research has attempted to establish rule-governed behavior in individuals who do not already display the repertoire.

متن کاملConceptions of Determinism in Radical Behaviorism: a Taxonomy
Determinism has long been a core assumption in many forms of behaviorism, including radical behaviorism. However, this assumption has been a stumbling block for many— both within and outside the field of radical behaviorism—resulting in misunderstanding and misrepresentation. The following paper provides a descriptive taxonomy of four kinds of determinism assumed or asserted in the radical beha...
متن کاملUnifying Instance - Based and Rule - Based Induction
Several well-developed approaches to inductive learning now exist, but each has speci c limitations that are hard to overcome. Multi-strategy learning attempts to tackle this problem by combining multiple methods in one algorithm. This article describes a uni cation of two widely-used empirical approaches: rule induction and instance-based learning. In the new algorithm, instances are treated a...
