    Learning involves general and specific components. Prior general task training significantly reduced interocular transfer, suggesting it accounts for most learning. Specific pattern information also contributes to interocular savings.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Animal Behavior

    Background:

    • Learning a new task involves both generalizable skills and task-specific knowledge.
    • Interocular transfer, the ability to learn a task with one eye and perform it with the other, is a key measure of learning components.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the extent to which general and specific learning components transfer between eyes (interocularly).
    • To determine how prior training on different tasks affects interocular transfer of pattern discrimination.

    Main Methods:

    • Two experiments using albino rats trained on pattern discrimination and black-white tasks.
    • Manipulating prior training conditions (ipsi-ocular, contra-ocular, binocular) to assess interocular savings.

    Main Results:

    • Prior training on a general task (black-white) reduced interocular savings by threefold.
    • Specific pattern task training facilitated subsequent learning more than general task training, indicating specific component transfer.

    Conclusions:

    • General learning components significantly contribute to interocular transfer.
    • Specific information acquired during pattern discrimination also shows interocular transfer, albeit to a lesser extent.
