RELATIONAL LEARNING IN A CONTEXT OF TRANSPOSITION: A REVIEW by Lazareva, Olga F.

“…In a typical transposition task, an animal is presented with a single pair of stimuli (for example, S3+ S4—, where plus and minus denote reward and nonreward…”

Effect of stimulus orderability and reinforcement history on transitive responding in pigeons by Lazareva, Olga F., Wasserman, Edward A.

“…Transitive responding in humans and non-human animals has attracted considerable attention because of its presumably inferential nature. In an attempt to…”

Changes in area affect figure–ground assignment in pigeons by Castro, Leyre, Lazareva, Olga F., Vecera, Shaun P., Wasserman, Edward A.

“…A critical cue for figure–ground assignment in humans is area: smaller regions are more likely to be perceived as figures than are larger regions. To see if…”

Effect of between-category similarity on basic level superiority in pigeons by Lazareva, Olga F., Soto, Fabián A., Wasserman, Edward A.

“…Children categorize stimuli at the basic level faster than at the superordinate level. We hypothesized that between-category similarity may affect this basic…”

Associative models fail to characterize transitive inference performance in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) by Lazareva, Olga F., Paxton Gazes, Regina, Elkins, Zachary, Hampton, Robert

“…It has been suggested that non-verbal transitive inference (if A > B and B > C, then A > C) can be accounted for by associative models. However, little is…”

Pharmacological manipulation of GABA activity in nucleus subpretectalis/interstitio-pretecto-subpretectalis (SP/IPS) impairs figure-ground discrimination in pigeons: Running head: SP/IPS in figure-ground segregation by Acerbo, Martin J, Lazareva, Olga F

“…Figure-ground segregation is a fundamental visual ability that allows an organism to separate an object from its background. Our earlier research has shown…”

Hippocampal lesion and transitive inference: Dissociation of inference-based and reinforcement-based strategies in pigeons by Lazareva, Olga F., Kandray, Kaitlyn, Acerbo, Martin J.

“…ABSTRACT A typical nonverbal transitive inference task (TI) consists of several overlapping discriminations (A+ B−, B+ C−, C+ D−, D+ E−, where letters indicate…”
