Abstract:
Evaluative Conditioning (EC) refers to changes in our liking or disliking of a stimulus due to its pairing with other positive or negative stimuli. In addition to stimulus-based mechanisms, recent research has shown that action-based mechanisms can also lead to EC effects. Research, based on action control theories, has shown that pairing a positive or negative action with a neutral stimulus results in EC effects (Stimulus-Response binding). Similarly, research studies using Operant Conditioning (OC) approaches have also observed EC effects. The aim of the present study is to directly compare EC effects elicited by two different response-based approaches - S-R bindings and OC. To this end, participants were randomly assigned to an S-R binding procedure and an OC procedure. EC effects were measured in conditions and compared. Implications for EC theory are discussed.
摘要:
评估条件(EC)是指由于刺激与其他阳性或阴性刺激配对而引起的我们对刺激的喜欢或不喜欢的变化。除了基于刺激的机制,最近的研究表明,基于行动的机制也可以导致EC效应。Research,基于行动控制理论,已表明,将正或负作用与中性刺激配对会导致EC效应(刺激-反应结合)。同样,使用操作条件(OC)方法的研究也观察到EC效应。本研究的目的是直接比较两种不同的基于反应的方法-S-R结合和OC引起的EC效应。为此,参与者被随机分配到S-R结合程序和OC程序.在条件下测量并比较EC效应。讨论了EC理论的含义。
