title: Olfactory learning-set formation in rats.
abstract: Rats trained on 16 two-odor discrimination problems showed rapid acquisition of a learning set and one-trial learning by the end of the problem series. Learning to sample odor cues before responding and adoption of a "win-stay, lose-shift" strategy probably accounts for the virtually errorless learning. Learning-set performance of rats trained with odor stimulus comparable to that reported for primates trained on visual cues.
