Journal ArticleDOI
Extrapolation of serial stimulus patterns by rats
TL;DR: Results of the very first pattern repetition containing the added 0-pellet element indicated that rats in the strongly monotonic condition, but not in the others, anticipated the reduced quantity before actually experiencing it, supporting a cognitive, rule-learning hypothesis for serial learning by rats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phrasing cues and hierarchical organization in serial pattern learning by rats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rule abstraction, item memory, and chunking in rat serial-pattern tracking
TL;DR: Results indicate that under appropriate conditions rats may encode a representation of formal structure when they learn organized response patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coding of hierarchical versus linear pattern structure in rats and humans.
TL;DR: The results support the view that rats can abstract and encode a representation of multilevel hierarchical structure in serial patterns in much the same way as humans do in analogous tasks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity to violations of "run" and "trill" structures in rat serial-pattern learning.
TL;DR: Rats learned serial patterns composed of either "run" chunks or "trill" chunks and mastered the rules governing the pattern before learning "exceptions to the rule."
