Article Abstract:

An investigation of whether rats formed emergent, untrained stimulus relations in many-to-one matching-to-sample discrimination is conducted. The findings suggest that rats may form emergent, untrained stimulus relations between the discriminative stimuli in many-to-one matching-to-sample discriminants.
