Successive discrimination reversal learning was investigated in eight brushtail possums. The subjects were trained on position or brightness problems using a non-correction procedure. All four possums in the position group completed 19 reversals, three subjects demonstrating one-trial learning on several occasions. Acquisition of the brightness problem appeared more difficult; no possum achieved even the first reversal. Reversal indices and learning set scores for the position group of possums appeared comparable with, if not superior to, those reported in earlier studies for some rodents, carnivores, and primates. These findings were not consistent with the view of marsupials as “primitive” mammals. |
