Selective Attention: the Effects of Combining Stimuli Which Control Incompatible Behavior1

Year: 1969

Type: article

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.
