AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the cricket species Gryllus pennsylvanicus can distinguish between two different compound visual motifs using an operant conditioning method.
- It employs a Y-maze setup where the crickets are exposed to colored visual cues linked to a water reward.
- Findings indicate that the crickets successfully learned to differentiate the visual patterns and associated them with the reward, demonstrating their ability to recognize visuo-spatial regularities.
Article Abstract
This paper proposes an experimental protocol allowing Gryllus pennsylvanicus to discriminate an A-A and A-B motif pairs of compound visual stimuli. Specifically, this study consists in an operant conditioning procedure including a dichotomous Y-maze, two different pairs of compound visual colored cues and a water reward. Results are conclusive for this visuo-spatial regularities study,(Gryllus pennsylvanicus) were able to significantly discriminate between the two compound visual patterns and learned the association with the reinforcer.
