| Research Abstract |
Present study examined several learning tasks in tortoises, newts, goldfish, and rats to reveal phylogenetical origin of working memory processes. Successful acquisition of radial maze task was shown in tortoise (Agrionemys horsfieldii) and goldfish (Carassius auratus). Newts (Cynops pyrrhogaster) acquired running response in a straight allay with food rewards. Directed forgetting in rats was demonstrated using radial maze task. These findings enable comparative study on working memory processes.
