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 调查鸽子概念学习的策略和过程， 学习基本知识以准确执行列表记忆任务。一 程序研究整合的构型模式学习 刺激的组成部分，而不是学习关系 在组件之间，另一种探索使用真实对象进行学习，例如 与实物图片相反，第三个研究了一种新的程序 用碎石容器作为颗粒加固的刺激物 埋在下面。关于猕猴名录的调查--记忆 处理侧重于干扰和增强效应 以前看到的测试项目，以及干扰和时间相关 负责序列位置影响和变化的过程 长期记忆和短期记忆在不同的保持间隔。 与人类受试者的对比实验将在 万花筒图案刺激。

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.
