  1. Place and Position Learning in Honeybees (Apis mellifera) Huber, B., Couvillon, P.A. and Bitterman, M. E. Journal of Comparative Psychology 1994, Vol. 108, No. 3, 213-219

  2. Title – key words Abstract – all pertinent information Subjects, task, results Introduction – background information sets the stage Citations in parentheses Started with the big question General information about place/position learning (rats) Specific -what is known about bees What is the knowledge gap..? (purpose of study)

  3. What is the difference between place and position learning?

  4. Figure 1. A sketch of the experimental situation, which shows the two targets, 10 cm apart, centered on the 90 X 180 cm top of the training table.

  5. How were the subjects recruited? How were they identified? Any subject characteristics?

  6. What is measured (DV)? (2 variables). How do they measure? 1? 2?

  7. Experiment 1 What was the purpose of Experiment 1?

  8. Experiment 1 Stimuli What was the IV? How many levels? S- S+ ? ?

  9. For each level: What was the configuration & for how many bees? What did it test? 40 cm 10cm 10V S+ S- East

  10. For each level: What was the configuration & for how many bees? What did it test? 40 cm 10cm S+ S- East

  11. For each level: What was the configuration & for how many bees? What did it test? 10V S+ S- East

  12. For each level: What was the configuration & for how many bees? What did it test? 10V S+ S- East

  13. For each level: What was the configuration & for how many bees? What did it test? 10V S+ S- East

  14. For each level: What was the configuration & for how many bees? What did it test? 10V S+ S- East

  15. Figure 2. The course of acquisition under five conditions in which the position of the pair of targets remained the same. 40 = Group 40; 10 = Group 10;

  16. Figure 3. Performance in the extinction test of the three groups trained with the targets alone in Experiment 1.

  17. What remained unanswered?

  18. Figure 4. The target and landmark configuration of Experiment 2, the target and bar configuration of Experiment 3, and the target and shield configuration of Experiment 4.

  19. Experiment 2 What is the IV? What does it test?

  20. For each level: What was the configuration & for how many bees? What did it test? LP LN S+ S- East

  21. For each level: What was the configuration & for how many bees? What did it test? S+ S- LP East

  22. For each level: What was the configuration & for how many bees? What did it test? LN S+ S- East

  23. Figure 2. The course of acquisition under five conditions in which the position of the pair of targets remained the same. L = Groups LP and LN (both trained with the landmark);

  24. For each level: What was the configuration & for how many bees? What did it test? S+ S- LPR LNR East

  25. For each level: What was the configuration & for how many bees? What did it test? S+ S- East

  26. For each level: What was the configuration & for how many bees? What did it test? S- S+ East

  27. For each level: What was the configuration & for how many bees? What did it test? S- S+ East

  28. Figure 5. Performance in the extinction test of the groups trained with the landmark in Experiment 2.

  29. What did they find in experiment 2? How does this relate to the design of experiment 3?

  30. Experiment 3 For each level: What was the configuration & for how many bees? What did it test? BN BS BD BOBR S+ S- East

  31. For each level: What was the configuration & for how many bees? What did it test? BN BS S+ S- East

  32. For each level: What was the configuration & for how many bees? What did it test? BD BO No bar In extinction S+ S- training extinction East

  33. Figure 2. The course of acquisition under five conditions in which the position of the pair of targets remained the same. L = Groups LP and LN (both trained with the landmark); B = Groups BN, BS, BD, and BO (all trained with the bar);

  34. For each level: What was the configuration & for how many bees? What did it test? BR S+ S- East

  35. For each level: What was the configuration & for how many bees? What did it test? BR S+ S- East

  36. Figure 6. Performance in the extinction test of the groups trained with the bar in Experiment 3.

  37. What did experiment 3 show? How does this relate to the design of experiment 4?

  38. Experiment 4 How many bees? What did it test? S+ S- East

  39. Figure 2. The course of acquisition under five conditions in which the position of the pair of targets remained the same. L = Groups LP and LN (both trained with the landmark); B = Groups BN, BS, BD, and BO (all trained with the bar); S = Group S (trained with the shield).

  40. Figure 7. Performance in the extinction test of the group trained with the shield in Experiment 4.

  41. Conclusions?

  42. Extraneous variables? What might you do next?
