A review is presented of the literature relating to the ability of fish to learn problems involving discrimination within a variety of sensory modalities, using a number of types of response. The literature concerning the functions of both optic tectum and forebrain is considered. Various experiments are described which demonstrate the ability of goldfish (Carassius auratus) to habituate to new situations, to form simple conditioned responses, an to perform increasingly complicated avoidance tasks.
