The Application of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. (2009, neutral): “It has long been a central focus of behavioral theory that stimuli require experience to acquire functions, but that notion is coming into question (e.g., Sidman, 2000 ).”
Equivalence Relations: A Critical Analysis (2001, background): “Sidman (2000) may have this sort of argument in mind when he explains transfer of function as a result of the inclusion of responses (such as R) within the “equivalence relation” (pp. 135- 137).6 stimulus (B) to another (A) after matching to sample.”
Relational Frame Theory and Stimulus Equivalence: Conceptual and Procedural Issues (2004, result): “Nor does it indicate that language depends upon equivalence relations, although other behavioral researchers have offered this interpretation (McIlvane, Serna, Dube, & Stromer, 2000; Sidman, 1990, 1992, 1994, 2000).”
Probability of Equivalence Formation: Familiar Stimuli and Training Sequence (2004, background): “, Randell & Remington, 1999) and that reinforcement contingencies generate the equivalence relations (Sidman, 2000).”
On the role of trial types in tests for stimulus equivalence (2009, background): “Such performance contradicts the view that the relations that define stimulus equivalence are a coherent whole originating from the demands of the reinforcement contingency (Sidman, 1990, 1994, 2000).”
Assessment of the Relatedness of Equivalent Stimuli Through a Semantic Differential (2009, positive): “If the assumption is correct that stimulus equivalence provides the basis for semantic or symbolic meaning (Sidman, 1994, 2000), an originally meaningless stimulus that becomes equivalent to a meaningful one should acquire a similar meaning.”
Training and Testing Parameters in Formation of Stimulus Equivalence: Methodological Issues (2012, background): “Stimulus equivalence is defined as responding in accordance with the features of reflexivity, symmetry, and transitivity (Sidman, 2000; Sidman & Tailby, 1982).”
