The role of visual attention during elaboration of visual differentiation (VD) of three stimuli, each of them signaled its own instrumental reaction directed to the certain object has been studied in experiments with two males of northern fur seal. In one of the fur seals VD formed by the standard motor and food methods, for the other the "blind" assertion of stimulus field (without stimulus demonstration) was introduced during VD formation in the accidental order. The animal's orientation to the stimulus field and the absence of any reaction to the objects during 15 s was confirmed. It has been shown that in this special training of visual attention mechanism the attainment of learning criteria realizes well quicker--more than twofold.
在对两只雄性北海狗进行的实验中，研究了视觉注意在三种刺激的视觉辨别（VD）细化过程中的作用，每种刺激都指示其自身针对特定物体的工具性反应。在其中一只海狗中，通过标准的运动和食物方法形成VD，而在另一只海狗中，在VD形成过程中以随机顺序引入了刺激场的“盲”呈现（无刺激展示）。确认了动物对刺激场的定向以及在15秒内对物体没有任何反应。结果表明，在这种对视觉注意机制的特殊训练中，学习标准的达成速度快得多——超过两倍。
