Abstract
Tested in a two-choice situation, the painted turtle, Chrysemys picta picta , shows random probability-matching in visual problems and in confounded visual-spatial problems, but only maximizing or nonrandom matching (reward-following) in spatial problems. The results are compared with those of analogous experiments on fish, bird, and mammal.Keywords
