Transfer of a novel discriminative function across functional stimulus class members in rats
This experiment explored a rodent model of functional class formation by assessing the transfer of a novel discriminative function across class members. Following simple successive discrimination reversal training and consistently strong probe performance indicative of the formation of two six‐member functional classes (X1–X6 and Y1–Y6), subjects were trained on a novel discrimination task to respond in the right‐side port in the presence of odor…
Functional equivalence and class expansion in rats using olfactory stimuli
Simple discrimination reversal procedures have been successful in demonstrating functional equivalence classes in animals. The current study tested whether class expansion could be demonstrated in rats following the formation of functional equivalence classes. Olfactory stimuli were assigned to two arbitrary sets, and rats were trained on a successive simple discrimination task to respond to members of only one set at a time. When discriminated r…
Sex and mortality: Real risk and perceived vulnerability
The public's perceived susceptibility to health risks does not always accurately reflect the epidemiological estimates of actual risk. We assessed whether this discrepancy exists for HIV infection by outlining and comparing the actual statistical probabilities of acquiring HIV and another sexually transmitted disease (chlamydia) with the perceived probabilities of acquiring these diseases for heterosexuals who do not use intravenous drugs. Our an…
Social interactions following parturition in stumptail macaques
The social behavior of six female stumptail macaques ( Macaca arctoides ) living in a social group of 23–29 individuals was monitored before and after parturition and was compared to the social interactions of six nonpregnant females. Pregnant and control females did not differ in terms of affiliative and most types of agonistic behavior performed or received. After parturition, new mothers interacted with more group members than did control fema…
