Abstract
Trained 8 adult bushbabies to discriminate intermittent stimuli with a go, no-go response in a 2-way shock-avoidance apparatus. The stimuli were either light flashes of 3/sec and 18/sec or auditory clicks of the same rates. Ss were counterbalanced in acquisition with respect to stimulus modality and stimulus contingencies within a modality. After performance of the discrimination in the 1st modality had stabilized, Ss were tested in the 2nd modality with either the same (direct transfer) or reversed (reversal transfer) stimulus contingencies for 100 trials. Performance in the transfer test of the direct transfer Ss was facilitated as compared to that of reversal transfer Ss. (21 ref.) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
