Abstract
An investigation was performed to examine whether responding to auditory stimuli would be to relative, or to absolute properties of stimuli. The design was a replication of previous research, with additional control of a possible stimulus intensity effect. Rats were trained to respond to one of two tones differing in intensity, and later tested to determine whether transposition occurred. Transposition was reliable (p <.05) for each subject, both when the correct transpositional stimulus was the more intense and when it was the less intense of two stimuli.
