This book reviews how people and animals learn and how their behaviors are later changed
as a result of this learning. Nearly all of our behaviors are influenced by prior learning …

Same/different abstract-concept learning provides a basis for higher order learning. We
present criteria (eg the use of novel items, how to reinforce responding, achieving full …

Bumblebees were exposed to a discrimination procedure in which reinforcement was
contingent on choice of one of two spatial locations. The correct choice depended on …

Previous research has shown that rats can learn matching‐to‐sample relations with olfactory
stimuli; however, the specific characteristics of this relational control are unclear. In …

Monkeys, unlike chimpanzees and humans, have a marked difficulty acquiring relational
matching-to-sample (RMTS) tasks that likely reflect the cognitive foundation upon which …

This paper proposes an experimental protocol allowing Gryllus pennsylvanicus to
discriminate an A–A and A–B motif pairs of compound visual stimuli. Specifically, this study …

Many species have demonstrated the capacity to learn abstract concepts. Recent studies
have shown that the quantity of stimuli used during training plays a critical role in how …

Visual discrimination tasks are commonly used to assess visual learning and memory in non-
human animals. The current experiments explored the suitability of an iPad (Apple …

Previous work in discrimination learning has shown that nonmatching (oddity) tasks are
learned faster and more accurately than comparable matching tasks. This learning …
