Abstract
The purpose of the experiment was to evaluate the role of assumed frustration stimuli in discrimination learning. 3 groups of 12 rats were trained on discrimination problems in a T maze. The animlas required to turn right in the T whenever fed just prior to the choice point and to turn left when not fed learned more rapidly than either of the other groups during discrimination. These results could be accounted for in conventional discrimination terms without recourse to the concept of frustration stimuli.
