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.
