| Mumby box procedure was evidence for what? | The rats use of a general rule of learning, i.e. choose the same as the sample was. |
| Ibotenic acid lesions to the hippocampus resulted in what difference in the mumby box procedure? | Lesioned rats could learn the task but showed decreased accuracy with longer delays |
| Concept, Category, and Category member | Concept is the overall understanding of what constitutes members of the category. Novel gategory members will be responded to the same as previously learnt category members because of the concept of the category they belong to has already been learnt |
| Can non-human animals form concepts? | Pigeons responding to novel stimuli of trees after a conditioning task where specific trees were S+. Results showed pigeons learnt the concept for trees and were able to repond correctly to novel category members |
| Other animals which have learnt concepts? | Birds like Alex Gorillas Chimpanzees Monkeys |
| E.g. Alex the parrot demonstrated what? | Alex demonstrated learnt concepts of shape, colour, and 'matter' |
| Object Permanence | Knowledge that an object continues to exist when it is no longer visible |
| Object permanence in animals | Grey parrots & Kakarikis Orangutans could also do a complex task but, Monkeys were only able to do simpler tasks |
| Location of Objects | Premack 1983 Chimp shown 2 boxes at opposite ends of a room. Apple was placed in one, and a banana in the other. Chimp was removed from room. Upon return, the trainer was eating either a banana or an apple. Trainer left the room. Chimp was allowed to go to one of the containers and eat the contents. They always chose the box which contained the fruit the trainer was not eating |
| Transitive Inferencial Reasoning | Harry bigger than sally, sally bigger than john, is harry bigger than john? Yes |
| Gillan testing transitive inferential reasoning in chimps 1st phase | red<black<blue<white<orange if orange and white presented together then orange always had food etc. |
| Gillan testing transitive inferential reasoning in chimps 2nd phase | When presented with a pair they had not seen, i.e. not paired in the general rule. E.g. White and Black. Chimps were still very accurate at chosing the one with food. |
| Transitive Inferential Reasoning also present in other animals | Monkeys, pigeons, rats |
| Transitive Inferential Reasoning in pratice with chimps? | If I'm dominant to Chimp 1, and chimp 1 is dominant to chimp 2, can I take food from chimp 2? Yes. |
