Rosalind Ridley's research career started with an investigation into cortical mechanisms of visual perception followed by the delineation of the cortical areas involved in somatosensory discrimination learning.

In 1963, Herbert Terrace wrote a paper describing an experiment with pigeons which allows discrimination learning to occur with few or even with no responses to the negative stimulus ( abbreviated S " ).

Yale proved to be an important part of her life as it was where she met her future husband and co-creator of the Hull-Spence Hypothesis of discrimination learning, Kenneth Spence.

"' Tracy Kendler, "'n�e "'Sylvia Seedman "'( August 4, 1918 July 28, 2001 ) was an American research psychologist known for her research in discrimination learning.

It has been shown that Barbados bullfinches ( " Loxigilla barbadensis " ) from urbanized areas are better at innovative problem-solving tasks than bullfinches from rural environments, but that they did not differ in colour discrimination learning.

While interest in the learning of discriminations has continued in all those fields, from about 1980 onwards the phrase " discrimination learning " was used less often as the main description either of individual studies or of a field of investigation.

Terrace ( 1963 ) found that discrimination learning could occur without errors when the training begins early in operant conditioning and visual stimuli ( S + and S " ) like colors are used that differ in terms of brightness, duration and wavelength.

"' The Differential Outcomes Effect "'is a theory in Behaviorism, a branch of Psychology, that shows that a positive effect on accuracy occurs in discrimination learning between different stimuli when unique rewards are paired with each individual stimulus.

Her publication discouraged many neurosurgeons from completing surgeries on human beings that could negatively impact their lives . Milner s early work on the temporal lobes was influenced by the results of ablation work with lower primates, and particularly by Mishkin and Pribram s discovery of the role of the inferotemporal neocortex in visual discrimination learning .

In the 1950s and 1960s he carried out numerous experiments on rats but also on other species such as octopus; the two-factor theory of discrimination learning that he developed with Nicholas Mackintosh was an important step in the rehabilitation of a cognitive approach to animal learning after the dominance of strict behaviourism in the first half of the twentieth century.
