Abstract

DBA/2J and C56BL/6J mice were given original learning and 11 reversals of a spatial discrimination habit. The former strain required fewer trials to shift from incorrect to correct responding after a reversal and made fewer errors on reversals. These data suggest that (1) genetic characteristics contribute to differences in reversal learning, and (2) generalizations concerning phyletic differences in reversal learning may be premature prior to testing of diverse strains within species.
