Abstract

"This study aimed to determine the relative effects of the level of learning and the difficulty of the problem on perseveration time in rats. The results of Exp. I suggest that PT increases early in practice and is then followed by a decrease with further practice. In Exp. II, PT was found to increase with the difficulty of the problem."
