A male, young rhesus monkey was taught to discriminate between five different stimali. Two different attempts to establish this behavior were reported in detail. The reasons for failure of the first attempt are demonstrated by the success of the second attempt. The effects of time out and of different ratios of reinforcement on the correct counts which the animal made for the symbols used were explored. Both increase in time out and ratio cause fewer errors in counting
