Cross-modal transfer of a specific discrimination in the rabbit
TLDR
Classical discrimination conditioning was employed to establish a discrimination between two rates of intermittent stimulation in the auditory modality for two rabbits and in the visual modalities for two additional rabbits.Abstract:
Classical discrimination conditioning was employed to establish a discrimination between two rates of intermittent stimulation in the auditory modality for two rabbits and in the visual modality for two additional rabbits. Acquisition of the initial discrimination was facilitated in the auditory condition. Following training in the original modality, the stimulus modality contingencies were exchanged and a test of transfer conducted. Transfer from audition to vision and from vision to audition was definitively shown by both the heart-rate and eyeblink responses.read more

TL;DR: Results indicate that chimpanzees who have received symbol training can perform symbolic cross-modal tasks similar to those that are typically used with human subjects.

TL;DR: By using edible and inedible shapes presented first in darkness then in the light it was possible to demonstrate cross-modal matching from touch to vision in six Rhesus monkeys, showing that cross- modal matching is not unique to apes and human beings.

Transfer across CS-US intervals and sensory modalities in classical conditioning of the rabbit
E. James Kehoe,Phoebe E. Holt +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated transfer of the rabbit's conditioned nictitating membrane response (NMR) from shorter to longer CS-US intervals in conjunction with a change in CS modality, for example, light to tone.

Cross-modal transfer as a function of similarities between training tasks in classical conditioning of the rabbit
Phoebe E. Holt,E. James Kehoe +1 more
TL;DR: The major findings were that initial conditioning of a visual CS facilitated the overall rate of CR acquisition to the auditory CSs separate from the requirements for discrimination learning, and initial visual discrimination training facilitated auditory discrimination learning.

TL;DR: A dolphin performed a 3-alternative matching-to-sample task in different modality conditions, suggesting that the dolphin has an object-based representational system.

TL;DR: This paper would never have been written without Professor Zangwill’s urging, and I am grateful to him for having brought me to a more careful review of the older literature and a more precise statement of my own ideas.

Interstimulus interval functions in different response systems during classical discrimination conditioning of rabbits
TL;DR: In this paper, four groups of rabbits received nictitating membrane (NM), heart rate (HR) and respiration rate (RR) classical discrimination conditioning to tones and shocks at interstimulus intervals of.25,.75, 2.25 and 6.75 sec.
