Under relational conditions with electric shock punishment for incorrect responses, all 9 rats learned to choose the dimmer of two stimuli; no Ss in a parallel group of rats ( N = 6) given equivalent training under absolute conditions reached the learning criterion. Results are interpreted as supporting the Gestalt theory of discrimination learning rather than the theory of Spence.
