Abstract
"In a series of three experiments, 74 rhesus monkeys were trained to remove either Life Savers or punched paper poker chips from bent-wire detour problems. It was found that monkeys are able to make rudimentary perceptions of the detour, but their perceptions of the quality of the reward are more immediate. It was also apparent that monkeys learn to solve detours for rewards which are poker chips and that Ss so trained perform at a much higher level than Ss shifted from rewards which are Life Savers to rewards which are poker chips."
