Abstract
Generalization gradients along a light intensity dimension were obtained from monkeys before and after bilateral amygdalectomy. Both appetitive and aversive gradients were unaffected by the lesion. No evidence was found to support a previous suggestion that some of the complex behavioral effects of amygdalectomy are due to a disturbance in stimulus generalization.Keywords
