Abstract
The performance of 5 pigeons on a successive spatial discrimination reversal task was studied over 29 reversals under conditions of non-correction. A significant reduction of errors occurred following an initial peak error score on the second reversal. Intra-problem error reduction was also significant, with errors remaining only during the initial trials of a session with continued reversal training. Terminal reversal performance approached one-trial reversal.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
