Document Summary
Person wear stereo headphones less accurate and non-invasive three digits are presented to both ears simultaneously. Is it a reading problem problem in understanding words that do not follow rules (e. g. dyslexia)?. Subject is presented with four stimulus cards which differ in several dimensions (e. g. color, shape, number) The cards have to be sorted according to one dimension (e. g. number) The only feedback the subject receives is correct or incorrect. When the subject has established the correct category, the rule is changed without warning. Now, the cards must be sorted according to a new dimension (e. g. color) Patients with frontal damage continue to sort on the basis of one sorting strategy: perseveration. A behavioral paradigm is a single set of procedures used to investigate particular behavioral phenomena, e. g. Paradigms for the assessment of species common behavior: displayed by virtually all members of that species (e. g. nesting) Traditional conditioning paradigms: play a major role in learning.
