ABSTRACT
Recently, there has been a rekindling of interest at both an empirical and theoretical level in animals’ capacity to manage abstract forms of serially-organized stimulus information (Hulse, 1978; Straub, Seidenberg, Bever, & Terrace, 1979; Straub & Terrace, 1981). bindex<Seidenberg, M. S.> While the theoretical underpinnings of serial behavior in animals have been cast traditionally in the chains of stimulus and response (Hull, 1931; Skinner, 1934), there has been an expanding exploration of newer, cognitively based models as theoretical accounts for serially organized behavior (Hulse, 1978; Hulse & O'Leary, 1982; Roitblat, 1983).
