In each of 4 experiments animals were given a structural discrimination task that involved visual patterns composed of identical features, but the spatial relations among the features were different for reinforced and nonreinforced trials. In Experim... Read More about Discrimination of structure: I. Implications for connectionist theories of discrimination learning..
