CONT

On a trouvé que le surentraînement retardait l'apprentissage inverse chez les chats et les singes ayant une expérience très poussée. [...] En outre, Mackintosh (1969) a confirmé l'idée que le surentraînement facilite l'apprentissage de l'inversion dans des cas où la discrimination est difficile et la récompense importante.
