Initial Peak

The performance of 5 pigeons on a successive spatial discrimination reversal task was studied over 29 reversals under conditions of non-correction. A significant reduction of errors occurred following an initial peak error score on the second reversal. Intra-problem error reduction was also significant, with errors remaining only during the initial trials of a session with continued reversal training. Terminal reversal performance approached one-trial reversal.

Response Set

A primary purpose of the present experiment was to examine retroactive inhibition and spontaneous recovery by employing a task which combines aspects of paired-associate and verbal-discrimination learning. The design was a 3 × 2 independent groups factorial manipulating type of interpolated learning and length of the retention interval. There were 14 Ss in each of the six groups. Significant retroactive inhibition was found in one condition and an absolute temporal increase in List-1 recall in another; however, the interaction of Condition × Retention Interval was not significant. Acquisition and recall data are discussed primarily in terms of frequency theory and response-set interference.

Reversal Performance

To examine the generality of inter-species SDR performance differences previously revealed on a spatial task, four different mammalian species were tested on a brightness successive discrimination reversal task. Analysis showed that the patterns of errors yielded on the spatial task were reproduced on the brightness task, except that on the brightness task, cacomistle performance was inferior to that by squirrel monkeys. Further evidence supporting the differential extinction explanation of inter-species variation in negative transfer was also found.
