The root mean square error (RMSE) was calculated for 1000 training trials for each number of nodes.
The training trials for rightward and leftward rotations were presented equally often but pseudo-randomly sequenced.
Figure 3 shows the percentage of training (panels A C) and test trials (panels D F) that were judged as rotating in the direction predicted by training as a function of the number of training trials for the three experiments.
Training trials for the delayed win-shift task consisted of two phases.
However, this landmark had been present throughout the training trials for the boundary + landmark group but not the boundary group.
This training period included the task instructions together with examples of correct responses followed by two training trials for both the initiation and the inhibition condition.
The temporal spacing of training trials for this task is imperative to the quality of spatial learning in rats [ 3] and mice [ 4].
(A ) Average neuron-pair noise correlations plotted as a function of training trials for task learner mice (blue curves), pseudo-conditioned mice (green curves) and non-learners (cyan curves).
The birds had to choose the baited cup on at least 5 trials in each of two consecutive blocks of six trials (83%; binomial test, P = 0.039) to advance to the tests (see Table 1 for the number of needed training-trials for each bird).
