“…In the present case, the avoidance of recently visited flowers by nectar-feeding birds is related to several paradigms used in laboratory studies of animal learning, such as alternation learning (Behar, 1961;Livesey, 1969;Yamaguchi & Warren, 1961) and win-shift response strategy learning (Brown & McDowell, 1963), which involve reinforcing responses that avoid stimuli or locations recently associated with reinforcement. Olton and Samuelson (1976) and Olton (in press), for example, found that rats rapidly learn to make just one visit to each arm of multi-armed mazes when each arm contains only one small piece of food.…”

12 male and 6 female rhesus monkeys were trained for 44 days on response shift learning set. For the next 8 days under Procedure A the object responded to on the initial trial was paired with a novel stimulus object and response to the novel stimulus object was rewarded, while under Procedure B the object not responded to on the initial trial was paired with a novel stimulus object and response to the object not responded to on the initial trial was rewarded. Analysis of results during the last 8 days of testing showed beyond the .001 significance level that the prepotent mechanism of learning in response shift learning set is behavioral inhibition of response to previously rewarded cues.
