The study explored the effect of introducing novel cues on a learned color discrimination. 6 squirrel monkeys were initially trained to discriminate between plaques covered with green and brown construction paper. In a series of transfer tests, these color cues were then presented in 6 different patterns and varied in 4 sizes. The results indicate that some patterns will produce more disruption than others. Furthermore, reducing the size of the cues may also lead to a decrement in performance level. The outcome corresponds well with those of studies which show that contextual variables influence the acquisition of discriminative responses.
该研究探讨了引入新线索对已习得的颜色辨别能力的影响。6只松鼠猴最初接受训练，以区分覆盖有绿色和棕色建筑纸的板块。在一系列转移测试中，这些颜色线索随后以6种不同的模式呈现，并在4种尺寸上有所变化。结果表明，某些模式会比其他模式产生更多干扰。此外，减小线索的尺寸也可能导致表现水平下降。这一结果与那些表明情境变量会影响辨别反应习得的研究结果非常吻合。
