Tóm tắt

Rats were exposed for approximately 1 month to a single stimulus mounted on the home cage wall. During discrimination training, half of the Ss had the exposed figure as the positive stimulus and half the exposed figure as the negative stimulus. Control Ss had no pattern mounted on the wall. The results indicate that when the exposed figure was the positive stimulus, the Ss made significantly more errors than the control Ss. but when the exposed figure was the negative stimulus, the Ss made significantly fewer errors. These results are consistent with the exploratory literature, which suggests that exposure to a stimulus will reduce the invitational properties of that stimulus relative to a more novel stimulus and thereby will affect the probability of selecting one stimulus over another, at least for a period of time, in a discrimination task.
