摘要: Hulse and Dorsky found that rats were better able to track (run slowly to) 0 food pellets in a strongly monotonic (decreasing) serial pattern (14-7-3-1-0 pellets) than either weakly one (14-5-5-1-0) or nonmonotonic (14-1-3-7-0). These findings seen as incompatible with associative approaches based on animal experiments. Instead, they taken be consistent cognitive theories of human behavior relate difficulty formally defined structural complexity. In Experiment 1, tracking was poorer monotonie series (15-10-5-0) two (15-15-0-0 14-14-2-0), 2 (1-29-0) produced (20-10-0). Although these results are not necessarily the complexity view, do suggest “element discriminability” is factor serial-pattern learning. They are, therefore, compatible memory approach views form discrimination
