Speech Sound Discrimination by Cats

James H. Dewson III 1

1 Department of Psychiatry, Stanford University School of Medicine, Palo Alto, California

Cats trained to discriminate between the speech sounds [u] and [i] do not retain and are unable to relearn this discrimination after bilateral ablation of the ventral insular-temporal cortex. In control animals, retention of this ability is not affected by bilateral removal of primary auditory receiving cortex.
