RESULTS Figure 5 shows per cent correct responses for each animal for each session of discrimination training for both original and transfer eyes. As the per cent correct response curves show, E6, E7 and E9 learned to criterion with the first eye in six, seven and six days respectively. However, learning to criterion with the second eye took considerably less time, with E6, E7 and E9 requiring only two, two and three days, respectively, to reach criterion performance. A comparison between performance on the first criterion day of the original eye and the first day of performance for the naive eye shows that although there is a slight decrement in overall performance from to , this decrement is not significant (correlated / = , = 2, P > , two-tailed).

The right panel shows the performance o fthe same animals with the trained eye occluded and the naive, transfer eye uncovered for the same discrimination task. 159.
