Again I was a man; stronger than ever was the
stimulus now, louder than ever the call on every drop of true man's blood in my perishing frame.
A special
stimulus of the most intense kind came from the struggle with Spain.
We may say, speaking somewhat roughly, that a
stimulus applied to the nervous system, like a spark to dynamite, is able to take advantage of the stored energy in unstable equilibrium, and thus to produce movements out of proportion to the proximate cause.
These training structures have produced different yields (percentage of participants who respond in accordance with
stimulus equivalence) of equivalence class formation; both MTO and OTM have been shown to produce high yields of equivalence formation, whereas LS has produced lower yields (Arntzen, 2012; Arntzen, Grondahl, & Eilifsen, 2010; Arntzen & Hansen, 2011; Arntzen & Holth, 1997; Fields, Hobbie, Adams, & Reeve, 1999).
Specifically, Zhu and Suzuki (2016) found particular facial activity occurring about 150ms after surprise
stimulus onset that was not affected by conscious suppression, whereas activity subsequent to that (from about 300 ms to 500 ms following onset, depending on the muscle region) was.
It has long been known that animals prefer to explore a novel object over a familiar one when they can choose which
stimulus to approach (Berlyne, 1950).
The head of the Bank of Japan, Haruhiko Kuroda, has defended the central bank's massive
stimulus measures.
Post hoc testing (with a Bonferroni correction applied, resulting in a significance level set at p < 0.0125) revealed that CoG latitude was smaller when five stimuli were delivered than when one
stimulus was delivered (F(1.00,33.00) = 8.23, p = 0.01).
Another study about the building of equivalent musical
stimulus classes with undergraduate students, Hanna et al.
In both procedures previously described, the triangle had the discriminative function of a positive
stimulus (S+, the
stimulus related to the reinforcer), and the circle had the discriminative function of a negative
stimulus (S-, the
stimulus not related to the reinforcer).
