Inferential Learning of Serial Order of Perceptual Categories by Rhesus Monkeys ( <i>Macaca mulatta</i> )

2017-01-26

Abstract excerpt

Category learning in animals is typically trained explicitly, in most instances by varying the exemplars of a single category in a matching-to-sample task. Here, we show that rhesus macaques can learn categories by a transitive inference paradigm in which novel exemplars of five categories were presented throughout each training session. Instead of requiring decisions about a constant set of repetitively presented...
