Movement discrimination in the rabbit.
In a two-choice discrimination box, rabbits were trained to discriminate vertical vs horizontal striations. After criterion was reached, the same striations were presented again, but now the patterns moved sinusoidally. All animals immediately transferred to moving patterns. After that, it was attempted to train the animals to discriminate between moving vs non-moving vertical striations. Even after prolonged training, none of the animals learned this discrimination task.
