The Role of Similarity of Stimuli and Responses in Learning by Nectar-Foraging Bumble Bees: A Test of Osgood’s Model

2024-04-28

Abstract excerpt

Learning stimulus – response associations helps animals to adjust to changing environments. Sequentially learned associations may interact with each other, either reinforcing memory, a process referred to as ‘transfer’, or hindering memory, a process referred to as ‘interference.’ According to Osgood’s (1949) model, close similarity between new and previously learned stimuli can enhance the transfer of memory thro...
