AVIAN AND PRIMATE LEARNING AND MEMORY

将研究鸟类和灵长类动物的认知过程 在学习和记忆实验中。 三个研究项目 研究鸽子概念学习的策略和过程， 学习基本的，以准确地执行列表记忆任务。一 该计划调查了整合的教学模式学习， 刺激的成分，而不是学习关系 另一种是在组件之间探索学习真实的对象， 反对对象图片，第三个检查一个新的程序， 用砾石容器作为颗粒增强物的刺激物 埋在下面。 恒河猴列表记忆的研究 处理的重点是干扰和增强 以前见过的测试项目，干扰和时间依赖性 负责序列位置效应变化的过程， 在不同的保持时间间隔的长期和短期记忆。 与人类受试者的比较实验将用以下方法进行： 万花筒模式的刺激。

cognitive processes of avians and primates will be investigated in learning and memory experiments. Three programs of research investigate the strategies and processes of pigeon concept learning, learning basic to accurately performing list memory tasks. One program investigates configural pattern learning of integrating the components of the stimuli as opposed to learning relationships between components, another explores learning with real objects as opposed to object pictures, and a third examines a new procedure of using containers of gravel as stimuli with grain reinforcement buried beneath. Investigations of rhesus monkey list-memory processing focuses on interfering and enhancing effects of previously seen test items, and interference and time-dependent processes responsible for changes in the serial position effects and long-term and short-term memory at different retention intervals. Comparison experiments with human subjects will be conducted with kaleidoscope pattern stimuli.
