Abstract
Two methods of testing between excitatory and inhibitory tendencies in simultaneous two-choice discrimination learning by monkeys are proposed. The use of both methods yields results favouring an excitatory as opposed to an inhibitory mechanism as the unitary process in discrimination learning.Keywords
