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.
