Article Abstract:
Individuals can provide accurate reports of their performance on emergent-relations test, and a majority of them demonstrate equivalence class formation. Although their reports on untrained emergent-relations are accurate, they show inconsistencies despite emergent-relations performances that were nearly perfect. This supports the contention that individual types of emergent-relations differ from each other. Their reports regarding their performance on trained relations and on trials with no class-consistent comparisons are also accurate.

Article Abstract:
The effects of the 'none' default-response option on initial equivalence class formation are analyzed. It is the basic assumption that response option can help clarify stimulus control by removing the noise in the measurement system. It was found that default-response options can be used in evaluating emergent relations by controlling the behavior of other variables, therefore, improving the validity of equivalence testing. Default response characteristics will depend on the study protocol used.

Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to investigate the promotional value of stimulus equivalence and stimulus generalization combined relating to the use of stimulus-class rating procedures on cross-modal stimuli. Results of the study support and extend previous work showing that novel stimuli may enter into previously established equivalence classes by generalization strictly on the basis of physical similarity to members of those classes.
