Rabbits were trained to discriminate between vertical and horizontal striations. After the 90% correct level had been reached transfer to vertical and horizontal rows of dots was studied. It was found that performance depended on the distance between adjacent dots. With angular dot separations (measured from the centers) larger than 4.9 degrees, performance was below the 75% correct level. This result is discussed in relation to the size of the receptive fields of orientation-selective neurons in the binocular visual cortex.
训练兔子区分垂直条纹和水平条纹。在达到90%的正确水平后,研究了向垂直和水平点状排列的转换。发现表现取决于相邻点之间的距离。当角点间距(从中心测量)大于4.9度时,表现低于75%的正确水平。结合双眼视觉皮层中方向选择性神经元感受野的大小对这一结果进行了讨论。
