Perceptual concepts involve

Monkeys were trained to respond sequentially in a simultaneous stimulus array procedure.After training, which of the following sets of test stimuli will lead to the longest latency to press the first key?

Describe how the behavior of food storing birds can be used to provide evidence of episodic memory.

Evidence from drug studies, clinical disorders, and transgenic mice suggests which neurotransmitter is important for timing?

A rat is used in a modified matching-to-sample experiment.If the rat is presented with a 4-second-long sample, it must push the left lever.If the sample is 10 seconds long, the rat must depress the right lever.This type of experiment tests the rat's ability to

The common elements approach to perceptual concept learning suggests that organisms form perceptual concepts based on

Monkeys were trained to press five buttons, "A" through "E," in alphabetical order.When presented with the smaller subset of keys "B" and "D," they were able to press these keys in order also.This suggests the monkeys learned

A cat is trained to fetch a piece of balled paper.The cat has learned that the sound of the paper being crumpled means that the game is on.The game being on tells the cat that the paper is about to fly.Seeing the flying paper means that it is time for the hunt.Grabbing the paper lets the cat know that a treat is waiting.This cat must have learned

What are the components of language competence? What evidence of these components is found in nonhuman animals?

A scrub jay demonstrates that it knows what happened, where it happened, when it happened, and seems to have integrated these pieces into a a coherent representation.This is evidence of

Explain why tests with subsets of items from a simultaneous array are useful in assessing the mechanisms of serial pattern learning.

Describe the internal clock.Compare the Scalar Expectancy Theory and behavioral theory of how timing might take place.

In theories of timing that use oscillators, the oscillator is most like a

Discriminating between which of the following would demonstrate abstract concept formation?

Results from duration estimation tasks suggest that

Describe two techniques for measuring an animal's ability for timing behavior.

What does learning a perceptual concept involve?

Describe food caching behavior and what factors experimenters have to rule out before concluding that the behavior is mediated by working memory.
