PDF pending restorationGulliksen, Harold; Voneida, Theodore – 1973
Sperry (1961) and others working on split brain learning reported that the two halves function in a nearly identical manner, giving excellent controlled replication of a learning problem. The present experiments were carried out with cats trained in a tactile discrimination apparatus, sometimes being forced to use the left paw, and sometimes being…

Ginther, Dean W.; Brazas, Adam T. – 1986
The contribution of decentration as an underlying component of discrimination learning and discrimination shift behavior was investigated in this study. In addition, the effect of verbal labeling and the relationship of academic achievement to discrimination learning and decentration was considered. The subjects were 120 first grade students who…
