Abstract
Color discrimination problems to which the discriminative cue was located on the border or at the center of a white plaque were presented to monkeys under conditions which varied the spatial contiguity relationships among stimulus (S), response (R), and reward (Rd). When S and R were discontiguous, discriminations were more difficult than when S and R were contiguous; center cue problems were more difficult than border cue problems under the contiguous condition. Interpretation of results was based on observing responses.Keywords
