Description

The relationship between awareness of learning steps and performance gains was examined by analyzing response processes of concept conditioning. Through interview, the Ss were classified into those who were unaware of the contingency (no awareness group), those who were aware of the contingency only (association group), and those who had acquired the concept (concept group). The main results were: (a) successful conditioning occurred only in the concept group; (b) the concept group showed performance increment only during the post-awareness phase; the association group did not show performance increment during the pre- or post-awareness phase; and (c) responses not reinforced on the pre-awareness trials occurred significantly more often on subsequent trials. Responses which received 1, 2 or 3 reinforcements during the pre-awareness phase did not increase on subsequent trials. These results were discussed in terms of cognitive control of concept conditioning.
