Abstract

The goal of this work was to study the possibility that the subjects improve their performance along a task of conditional discrimination in which feedback of their responses was not provided. 188 subjects were evaluated in a test of equivalence-equivalence, which was divided in four blocks of 9 trials. The results show that those subjects that made between 5 and 12 mistakes present an improvement between the first and quarter block of almost 20%, and in some cases of until 44.44%. These results evidence the learning without explicit reinforcement. The possible implication with some studies centred in the search of procedures of facilitation of the equivalenceequivalence is valued.
