Abstract
The Ss received training to compound stimuli in the presence of redundant, but related, stimuli with either simultaneous or go I no-go presentation. During transfer, the two elements of the compounds were presented separately to permit differential fixations. Patterns of selective fixations emerged early in training, with S fixating the reinforcing stimulus more frequently than the other stimuli. Amount of training lowered fixation frequency during transfer, but did not alter the pattern of selective fixations. Selective fixation of related redundant stimuli during training was related to fixation and choice selectivity during transfer.
