AbstractOur ability to discriminate temporal intervals can be improved with practice. This learning is generally thought to reflect an enhancement in the representation of a trained interval, which leads to interval-specific improvements in temporal discrimination. In the present study, we asked whether temporal learning is further constrained by context-specific factors dictated through the trained stimulus and task structure. Two groups of participants were trained using a single-interval auditory discrimination task over 5 days. Training intervals were either one of eight predetermined values (FI group), or random from trial to trial (RI group). Before and after the training period, we measured discrimination performance using an untrained two-interval temporal comparison task. Our results revealed a selective improvement in the FI group, but not the RI group. However, this learning did not generalize between the trained and untrained tasks. These results highlight the sensitivity of TPL to stimulus and task structure, suggesting that mechanisms of temporal learning rely on processes beyond changes in interval representation.

Performance on two auditory choice reaction time (RT) tasks was studied in a group of 12 subjects under the influence of graded doses of ethyl alcohol ranging from placebo to 1 g/kg body weight. Deadline procedures were employed in a side discrimination and a pitch discrimination task to permit the calculation of speed-accuracy tradeoff functions (accuracy versus RT). Accuracy declined as a function of dose, but alcohol did not significantly influence RT. Conversely, accuracy was not affected by task; but the pitch discrimination task required an average of 88 ms more time than the side task. Alcohol dose and task produced independent effects on the speed-accuracy tradeoff function. As dose increased, the slope of the tradeoff function declined; but slopes were equivalent for the two tasks. On the other hand, the x-intercept (where accuracy equals chance levels) was 90 ms greater for the pitch task than for the side task.

This research concerned training procedures (correction vs noncorrection), type of discrimination task (position vs brightness), and task difficulty in two 2 × 3 experiments using rats in single-unit mazes. An interaction was found between type of training procedure and task difficulty for the brightness task, with noncorrection Ss requiring relatively fewer trials to reach a criterion than correction Ss as the task became more difficult. A statistically insignificant interaction was found for the position task.

The learning model that is still teacher-centered causes low activity and student learning outcomes in the classroom, many students do not understand the material taught in the classroom especially if the teacher does not provide additional assignments. This writing aims to improve the activities and student learning outcomes by analyzing the combination of Think Talk Write (TTW) learning models with forced and task learning strategies. To provide a motivation for teachers to package learning that is creative and innovative, making learning activities interesting and not monotonous. The results of this modification indicate that learning with the Think Talk Write (TTW) learning model through forced and task strategies can improve the learning process so that students become more disciplined and do not waste time doing tasks. The advantages of modification of the Think Talk Write (TTW) learning model with forced and task learning strategies is to increase student learning motivation, improve the quality of learning, train students' understanding by giving assignments continuously, teach discipline to students in order to be accountable for tasks assigned, and reduce laziness in students. It is recommended to modify the Think Talk Write (TTW) learning model with forced and forced learning strategies both applied in the classroom so that the application becomes more effective while still taking into account the conditions of the school environment, students and teachers
