Abstract: In the five-term, transitive inference task used with animals, pigeons are trained on four simultaneous discrimination premise pairs: A + B −, B + C −, C + D −, D + E −. Typically, when tested with the BD pair, most pigeons show a transitive inference effect,… read more here.

Abstract: Compared to restudying, retrieval practice has often been found to enhance memory (the testing effect). However, it has been proposed that materials with high element interactivity may not benefit from retrieval practice. Transitive inference (TI)… read more here.

Abstract: Comparative psychologists study cognition by characterizing the behavior of individual species and explicitly comparing behavior across species. We use the extensive comparative literature on transitive inference (TI) as a case study to evaluate four central… read more here.

Abstract: Transitive inference (TI) has been studied in humans and several animals such as rats, pigeons and fishes. Using different methods for training premises it has been shown that a non-trained relation between stimuli can be… read more here.
