Abstract

4 mynas received 1000 discrimination problems in a modified Wisconsin General Test Apparatus, using 100 multidimensional stimulus objects. Learning set was acquired, as indicated by an asymptotic Trial 2 performance, clearly above chance. Retention of this learning set over a 150-day interval, and transfer to new objects were also found. Further experimentation was designed to obtain hypothesis estimates based upon Ss' performance. (15 ref.) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved).
