El objetivo del presente estudio fue replicar la investigación de Neves, et al., (2015), en el que se evaluó la resolución de problemas de tipo Insight en una rata Wistar. Se utilizaron repertorios naturales de la especie, como escarbar y escalar, y un entrenamiento de discriminación previo al pretest. Para ello, una rata albina fue expuesta a cinco fases experimentales: 1) entrenamiento de discriminación previo; 2) pretest; 3) entrenamiento de repertorios; 4) conservación de repertorios, y 5) test de resolución de problemas del tipo insight. Se encontró que el sujeto fue capaz de realizar la interconexión de los dos repertorios entrenados individualmente. Estos resultados reafirman la posibilidad de que las ratas resuelvan problemas basados en la experiencia. También,
existe la posibilidad de que un entrenamiento previo de discriminación influya en los comportamientos de búsqueda de reforzador en la fase del pre-test.
The objective of the present study was to replicate the research by Neves et al. (2015), in which problem-solving of the insight type was evaluated in a Wistar rat. Natural repertoires of the species were used, such as digging and climbing, as well as a discrimination training prior to the pretest. In the present investigation, an albino rat was
exposed to five experimental phases: (1) prior discrimination training; (2) pretest; (3) repertoire training; (4) repertoire maintenance; and (5) insight-type problem-solving test. It was found that the subject was capable of making the interconnection between the two repertoires that had been trained individually. These results reaffirm the possibility that rats can solve problems based on experience. There is also the possibility that prior discrimination training influences the subject’s behavior in seeking reinforcement during the pretest phase.
