Alternative Hypotheses

The role of successive discrimination reversal in comparative behavioral analysis is briefly summarized with attention to recent criticism of the retention-decrement hypothesis that attempts to account for improvement in performance on this task. Data from 7 mammalian and 10 avian species are presented in support of this criticism. Alternative hypotheses are proposed.
