Resumo
The effectiveness of trial‐and‐error, graded‐choice, and verbal‐instruction procedures on the acquisition and maintenance of a two‐choice simultaneous color discrimination in an intradimensional double‐reversal learning situation was studied using 18 first‐grade children. After acquiring a red‐green discrimination during one 70‐trial session, the discriminative roles of the stimuli were reversed for 30 trials, followed by a second reversal for 30 trials. Children in the graded‐choice and verbal‐instruction groups acquired and maintained the discriminations with fewer errors than children who learned by trial and error. The importance of the results in terms of two‐stage discrimination learning theories is pointed out and similarities between errorless learning and overtraining are discussed.
