Fig. 4. Bee acquisition of target from distractor. The bold line shows bee
(N=10) acquisition with only 40 responses to stimuli, and the broken
line bee (N=10) acquisition for 120 responses with quinine
hemisulphate used as a punishment for landings on distractor stimuli (same
data as in Fig. 3). Insert
shows frequency of correct choices in subsequent non-rewarded tests where bees
trained for only 40 responses were significantly poorer at recognising the
target, but were still able to perform significantly better than chance (see
text for statistics).
