Abstract
The ability of mink, ferrets, skunks, and cats to learn to discriminate between objects was compared. Performance of mink and ferrets was similar to that reported for primates. This observation suggests that there is considerable overlap among mammals in ability to form learning sets.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
