The present research tested the generality of the “work ethic“ effect described by Clement, Feltus, Kaiser, and Zentall (2000).
In Experiment 1, we trained 10 pigeons on a pair of either simultaneous or successive discriminations. One discrimination
followed a high-effort requirement (20 pecks to the center key) and the other followed a low-effort requirement (1 peck).
Contrary to Clement et al.’s results, we found that preferences between the S+ and S− stimuli in transfer tests depended on the event that initiated the trial: Pigeons preferred the stimulus from the baseline
discrimination whose initiating event was most dissimilar from that preceding the test trial. Preferences were similar but
less extreme in the successive condition. In Experiment 2, we investigated whether test preferences depended on the amount
of training. A total of 12 pigeons were trained on a pair of simultaneous discriminations, except that test sessions were
scheduled after every three baseline sessions. Preferences increased across test sessions but were similar to those in Experiment
1. Together with Vasconcelos, Urcuioli, and Lionello-DeNolf (2007a), our study represents a second failure to replicate Clement
et al.’s work ethic effect. The finding that preference depends on the event that initiates the test trial suggests that choice
probes may not provide unambiguous assessments of stimulus value. 相似文献

In this article we discuss an action research experience that took place from 2002 to 2015. We analyze the inception and progress of several project-based learning-centered academic courses that were aimed at developing the project management skills of graduate and undergraduate students. The experience involved approximately 1800 students from two universities and 40 community partners. The students developed real-life projects on behalf of institutions and non-governmental organizations located in the area that help people in need; we refer to these agencies as ‘community partners.’ We analyze the development of the course from a systemic perspective, making use of causal loop diagrams in order to understand the main driving dynamics. We discuss the results achieved by these projects and the benefits brought to the community partners. We also present testimony from the community partners themselves. We conclude by presenting the lessons we learned over the years we have been running this course. 相似文献

Zentall (2008) challenges Arantes and Grace’s (2008) failure to replicate Clement, Feltus, Kaiser, and Zentall (2000) by suggesting
that our results may have been due to insufficient training or to subjects’ experimental histories, and that our results are
actually consistent with those of Clement et al. when examined closely. On the contrary, our pigeons received more training
than Clement et al.’s did, and when an overall measure of preference on test trials was calculated, independent of the effect
of initiating event that we reported, there was no evidence of preference for the stimulus preceded by the greater response
requirement in our data. Although there have now been two unsuccessful attempts to replicate Clement et al.’s work ethic effect,
there is evidence that in some situations, the value of a stimulus, as assessed by transfer tests, varies inversely with the
context of reinforcement. It is important to look for convergent results using other procedures and transfer tests, such as
resistance to change, to identify the principles that determine when contrast manipulations affect value and when they do
not. 相似文献

General practitioners are responsible for the management of an increasing number of patients with neurological illness, and thus a solid education in neurosciences is a necessary component of their training. This study examines the effects of an intensive clinical neuroanatomy course on twenty general practice residents’ perceptions, attitudes, and knowledge. A knowledge test was completed by the participants and by a control group at four different time points. The participants were asked to answer a questionnaire about their reasons for signing up for the course and their attitudes and perceptions toward the course experience. Experimental and control groups demonstrated identical mean baseline test scores. The experimental group significantly increased its test scores (plus 49.0% correct answers, a mean improvement of 120%) relative to controls after the educational intervention. There were no differences among scores from the evaluated time points after the educational intervention in the experimental group. In the control group, there were likewise no significant differences between the four evaluated time points. Most participants indicated that they signed up for the course to update/acquire knowledge and skills in the field of neurosciences, and also because they had difficulty in diagnosing and managing patients with neurological diseases. Participants’ attitudes and perceptions toward the course experience were very positive. Most of the participants (n = 17; 85%) rated the course as “extremely useful,” and 3 (15%) rated it as “very useful.” This study provides evidence demonstrating the potential positive effect of neurosciences education to general practice residents.
