Selective attention: the effects of combining stimuli which control incompatible behavior

Selective attention: the effects of combining stimuli which control incompatible behavior

B A Ray. J Exp Anal Behav. 1969 Jul.

Abstract

Four rhesus monkeys learned both a color and tilt discrimination. The stimuli were combined to produce incompatible behavior. The behavior controlled by one set of stimuli was reinforced until "errors" virtually disappeared. The stimuli were tested separately again. Sixteen replications of the entire procedure indicated that the stimuli producing "errors" were ignored.
