Abstract
"Eight monkeys trained to respond to oddity-principle patterning with one group of stimulus objects were subsequently tested on a long series of transfer problems involving the same patterning but different stimuli. Performance on transfer problems involving stimuli differing markedly from the training stimuli begins at a chance level and gradually and significantly improves. This continuous, negatively accelerated improvement represents the development of a learning set to respond to patterning, a set which can develop in the absence of common stimulus dimensions. The discriminability of stimulus-objects produces a constant effect throughout the development of the patterning learning set." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
