NARROWING OF ATTENTION IN RHESUS MONKEYS AS A CHRONIC EFFECT OF SUBLETHAL RADIATION,
Abstract
The subjects in this experiment were Macaca mulatta (rhesus) monkeys. Three groups--low dose irradiated, high dose irradiated, and control nonirradiated--were trained on a simple black-white discrimination. The results are interpreted to indicate a wider scope of attention in control and low dose irradiated subjects. These subjects attended to cues of position while they were learning the black-white discrimination, but high dose irradiated subjects indicated no such attention to the irrelevant cues of position.
