Assignment 4:

• One problem with the current article on Discrimination Learning is that the article is too short and not detailed enough to give a full overview of the topic.
• Two Sources:

1. Spence, K. W. (1936). The nature of discrimination learning in animals. Psychological Review, 43(5), 427-449.
2. Frey, P. W. & Colliver, J. A. (1973). Sensitivity and responsivity measures for discrimination learning. Northwestern University, 4, 327-342

• Two Questions:

1. One question that I have is if we should delete the current information and start "fresh" or if we should add to the current information with our own information.
2. How many pictures would you recommend an article having?

Assignment 4:

• A problem with the article on Discrimination Learning is the lack of credible sources. There simply needs to be more sources referenced to make this article more credible, reliable, and more knowledgeable.
• Two Sources:
  • Franssen, M., Claes, N., Vervliet, B., Beckers, T., Hermans, D., & Baeyens, F. (2017). Reinstatement after human feature-positive discrimination learning. Behavioural Processes, 137, 73-83. doi:10.1016/j.beproc.2017.01.007
  • George, D. N. (2018). Stimulus similarity affects patterning discrimination learning. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Learning and Cognition, 44(2), 128-148. doi:10.1037/xan0000164
• Two Questions:
  • How many sections would a typical wikipedia article have on a topic such as this? Or is it more subjective and up to the writers?
  • How much of the article should be based on humans and how much on animals/animal studies? Can both be included?
