Peripheral Cue Learning Set in Rhesus Monkeys,

Abstract

Four control and nine chronic whole-body irradiated rhesus monkeys, with previous experience on standardized learning set problems and in the utilization of peripheral cues to procure food rewards, were tested on six four-trial peripheral cue learning set problems per day for 39 days. The results of the experiment were that: (1) The irradiated Ss did not differ significantly from the control Ss with respect to performance on this training. (2) There was no significant interproblem improvement in performance over the periods of testing. (3) There was statistically significant intraproblem improvement in the performance which was consistent over the periods of testing. (Author)
