Abstract
"The course of reversal-learning in the fish was studied under conditions analogous to those employed in work on higher forms. Analysis of initial errors showed ...a pattern of recovery from negative transfer qualitatively distinct from that previously obtained for the rat, a finding whose significance for the problem of phylogenetic differences in learning ability remains to be assessed.".Keywords
