Two rhesus monkeys were trained in an operant situation to perform for food and water in response to conceptualized stimuli which the animal had to derive from multidimensional stimulus conditions involving random combinations of colored lights.

A sample of 188 children in three age groups, preschool, first and third grades, were administered the Patterns Task of the Multidimensional Stimulus Fluency Measure in four test conditions. The conditions systematically varied dimension (three or two) and presentation mode (handling or nonhandling). The fluency measure assessed ideational fluency, popular and original responses, as a measure of creative potential in young children. Analysis showed that dimensionality does not play a major role in the generation of original responses for any grade. However, handling 3-dimensional or 2-dimensional stimuli did appear to facilitate original thinking in preschool children. The use of 2-dimensional photographs which depict dimensionality appeared to compensate for the need to have 3-dimensional stimuli.

This study explored the effects of the number of dimensional differences on discrimination learning in a verbal conditioning task. The stimulus dimensions were degree of hostile connotation and color disparity. Ss were presented pairs of neutral and hostile words and were reinforced for using hostile words. In one group, the hostile group, the hostile words were printed in different colors from the neutral words; in the other group, both were printed in the same color. In one group, the hostile words were of mild intensity; in the other group they were of intense hostility. Color disparity was the only variable consistently to affect use of the reinforced hostile word and post-experimental report of the response reinforcement contingency.
