Abstract

The Brown‐Jenkins auto‐shaping procedure for pigeons was found applicable to monkeys. Repeated pairings of lighted keys with reinforcement generated key‐pressing behavior. The animals rapidly learned a simultaneous light‐dark discrimination. The topographies of key‐pressing and magazine behavior differed; the food tray was not illuminated.
