Abstract
The present research explored the ability of the toad (Bufo terrestris) to discriminate between palatable and unpalatable prey objects based on prey color (Experiment 1) and background color (Experiment 2). The first experiment investigated the effects of prior experience with a prey object on the subsequent discrimination task. The results indicated that prior positive experience with the palatable prey object facilitated the early development of the discrimination. The second experiment showed that the toad could discriminate between identical prey objects on the basis of background color.
