Abstract
This paper describes two test apparatuses developed to facilitate discrimination learning studies with primates. The semiautomated apparatus provides for presentation of stereometric stimulus materials through the illumination of lamps which make a one-way mirror transparent at the onset of a trial. The totally automated test system was developed to facilitate the collection of Transfer Index (TI) measurements, measurements intended to provide for equitable assessments of the learning-set capabilities of diverse primate genera. The TI test procedures and the system’s operations provide for criterional mastery (67% or 84% responses correct) of two-ehoice visual discrimination problems, consisting of projected patterns, then reversal of cues for the 10 test trials that are of particular significance in calculation of the TI scores.
