Pretraining and discrimination reversal learning by rhesus monkeys

Groups of five to seven macaques were trained on repeated reversals of a visual (or spatial) discrimination habitafter no pretraining, extended discrimination training, or repeated reversal training on spatial (or visual) cues. Neither sortof pretraining had a significant effect on reversal learning on the second cue. These results indicate that monkeys' capacity to develop generalized "win-sta...

Discrimination learning with variable stimulus 'salience'

BACKGROUND In nature, sensory stimuli are organized in heterogeneous combinations. Salient items from these combinations 'stand-out' from their surroundings and determine what and how we learn. Yet, the relationship between varying stimulus salience and discrimination learning remains unclear. PRESENTATION OF THE HYPOTHESIS A rigorous formulation of the problem of discrimination learning shou...
