Abstract
The present experiment investigated the effects of changes in the percent of association between stimuli and responses on intradimensional and extradimensional shift problems. The results indicated that the percent of association differentially affects the frequency of responses and that the weighted frequencies of the responses are related to the choices made with stimulus compounds that simulate intradimensional and extradimensional shift problems.
