Transposition of Response to the Intermediate-Size Stimulus in Rhesus Monkeys.

摘要

Eight rhesus monkeys were trained to choose the intermediate of three different size stimuli. During transposition testing, stimuli were employed which favored no single choice based on 'absolute' stimulus values. When response eliciting values dependent on 'absolute' stimulus properties were balanced in this manner, sophisticated rhesus monkeys were observed to base responses on 'relational' properties of the test stimuli.
