Abstract: Experiments involving inhibitory learning were performed on two species of invertebrates: octopus (Eledone cirrhosa) and dwarf cuttlefish (Sepiola atlantica). Both species were capable of inhibitory learning, transfer of such learning to natural situations and long-term-memory of learned inhibition. The results were interpreted in terms of evolutionary significance of such behavioural adaptations. Stimuli were in the form of a paper crab model, an electronic crab image and a live mysid.
