Abstract
Discrimination of colours was studied using instrumental learning para digm in monkeys (Macaque rhesus) and fishes (Carpio Cyprinus L.). The confusion matrices composed of probabilities of instrumental responses were treated by factor analysis. The spherical structure of perceptua l coloou space revealed in both animals was close to one in humans. Fo ur eigenvectors constituting four-dimensional Euclidean hypersphere co rrespond to red-green, blue-yellow, bright and dark neuronal channels.
