Transitive responding in animals and humans: Exaptation rather than adaptation? (1998, background): “Davis (1992b), working on rats, added E−F+ and F+A− training pairs to his original A+B− ,…, D+E− scheme and found that his rats ceased to produce transitive choices on the B$D$ test pair.”
Hippocampal activation during transitive inference in humans (2004, background): “…paradigmatic example of inferential thinking, has been described in humans as young as 4 years old (Bryant and Trabasso, 1971), in nonhuman primates (McGonigle and Chalmers, 1977), in rats (Davis, 1992; Roberts and Phelps, 1994; Dusek and Eichenbaum, 1997), and in pigeons (von Fersen et al., 1991).”
An investigation of learning strategy supporting transitive inference performance in humans compared to other species. (2006, methodology): “The inclusion of this reverse stimuus order was used to ensure that the selection of B over D cannot e explained based on order of stimulus training during initial raining using a primacy/recency effect (Davis, 1992); and this anipulation to our knowledge has not been previously reported ith humans.”
When logic fails: Implicit transitive inference in humans (2005, background): “Some researchers have assumed that these animals use a process much like human logical reasoning to achieve these behavioral results (e.g., Dusek & Eichenbaum, 1997; Davis, 1992).”
Concept learning in animals. (2008, methodology): “More recently, this version of the task has been used to document transitive responding in several different species including rats (Davis, 1992; Roberts & Phelps, 1994), pigeons (Fersen, Wynne, Delius, & Staddon, 1991; Steirn, Weaver, & Zentall, 1995; Lazareva & Wasserman, 2006), crows (Lazareva, S”
