What did Breland and Breland's work with "miserly raccoons" demonstrate?


Raccoons are less conditionable, and therefore less intelligent, than rats and pigeons.

There are biologically imposed limits to the generality of conditioning principles.

There are differences in appropriate rewards for different species.

Principles of reinforcement (derived from studies of rats and pigeons) easily generalize to raccoons.
