Abstract
We present a novel model, SCP1, of monkey sequence learning that takes the processes of stimulus recognition and motor planning seriously in addressing a robust dataset on list learning obtained through the Simultaneous Chaining Paradigm (SCP). Strikingly, SCP violates stimulus-response (S-R) mappings in that after several different lists are learned, monkeys are able to conserve this learning on a new list which is “conserved” in the sense that the jth element is specified as the jth element of any one of the previously learned lists. We demonstrate list acquisition as a result of multiple concurrent learning processes that together contribute to competent performance. In addition to reproducing behavioral results, we offer observations linking the work to macaque neurophysiology.
