Abstract
140 Ss learned to hit 1 of 4 switches on a horizontal panel as quickly as possible in response to 1 of 4 lights appearing on a vertical stimulus panel. The correct response was determined on the basis of whether a top or bottom, red or green light was on. Control Ss practiced the total task from the beginning, while experimental Ss were given preliminary training with only 2 lights and 2 switches, on either color or position discrimination. Color discrimination training brought about a reduction in color errors, and a smaller reduction in position errors, while position discrimination training brought about some reduction in position errors but none at all in color errors.
