Abstract
Trained 4 monkeys with inferior temporal (IT) lesions and 4 unoperated monkeys to discriminate pairs of objects and then tested for transfer (ie, stimulus equivalence) after the original discriminanda were made larger or smaller, rotated, or presented as 2-dimensional projections. Both groups of Ss transferred equally well to the discriminanda altered in size or orientation, but only unoperated Ss transferred to the 2-dimensional representation. Findings fail to support the possibility that IT lessions may impair shape constancy.(8 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
