The effects of pre-trial administration of strychnine sulphate on maze learning were assessed for both massed and distributed practice. Analysis of trials to criterion and errors to criterion confirmed strychnine's facilitation of learning under massed practice but showed no such facilitating effect under distributed practice.

This research was concerned with the effects of different classes of cues on the ability of toads ( Bufo marinus) to learn an escape task, discrimination learning, in a T-maze. The cues were either a black or white brightness cue, a right or left position cue, or combinations of brightness and position cues. The toads were given a .6-mA shock until they made the correct response. Results suggested that toads are capable of learning a discrimination task based on either a position or brightness cue. However, the rate of learning was influenced by strong aversion to the white arm when escaping from an aversive stimulus. No particular preference for either brightness or position cues was found independent of this aversion.
