我们发现,1984年9月出版的《行为遗传学》中关于双翅目昆虫学习的两篇评论,提出了一种比仔细检查它们的参考文献所保证的更为乐观的观点。此外,由于缺乏足够的控制实验,我们的问题是否成功的选择性繁殖的学习能力的苍蝇还没有被证明。我们对这两篇评论的批评主要来自于他们未能区分有效测量个体果蝇的学习行为和无法从群体表现中推断出特定个体已经学习的行为。我们讨论了一种方法,可用于测量学习个别苍蝇以及在随后的选择性育种的学习能力。
We find that the two reviews of dipteran learning in the September 1984 issue ofBehavior Geneticspresent a more optimistic view than is warranted by a close examination of their references. Also, because of the absence of adequate control experiments, we question whether successful selective breeding for learning ability in the blow fly has yet been demonstrated. Much of our criticism of the two reviews arises from their failure to distinguish between validly measuring learned behavior in individual flies and the inability to infer from group performance that a given individual has learned. We discuss an approach that can be used to measure learning in individual flies as well as in subsequent selective breeding for learning ability.
