Description
A stimulus class was generated by applying a fixed set of
transformational rules to a prototype, and selected members
of this class were presented during acquisition. It was found
that children discriminated members of this class from nonmembers.
For adults, further distinctions were obtained among
the stimuli within the class, as follows: Although the prototype
was not presented during acquisition, it was recognized
with greater confidence than stimuli from the acquisition set. Furthermore, class members that were not seen during acquisition
were recognized on the basis of this prototype. For those
class members that had been seen during acquisition, however,
there was no evidence that their recognition was based on the
prototype. Evidence that these previously seen class members
were recognized with greater confidence than new class members
indicated that recognition of stimuli from the acquisition
set was based on stored copies, or specific memory.
