reversal shift

reversal shift

in discriminations involving two alternatives, a reversal of contingencies. For example, in initial training, a white stimulus might be designated as correct and black as incorrect. A reversal shift would mean that, in a later phase of the training, black becomes correct and white incorrect. Compare nonreversal shift.
