Forty-nine rhesus monkeys were divided into two treatment groups of 24 and 25 animals. Two identical stimulus objects were presented at each trial in a Wisconsin General Test Apparatus with reward presented for an equal number of trials on the left and right sides. For one group, the sequence of reward placements contained a positive contingency; for the other group, it contained a negative contingency. The distribution of responses for sophisticated rhesus monkeys was found to depend on the statistical structure of the stimulus sequence
