In the Rutgers Acquired Equivalence Test (RAET), participants are taught to associate pairs of visual stimuli (faces and fish) during the acquisition phase. Subsequently, in the test phase, they are required to recall and generalize these learned associations. We introduced a novel test (Polygon) that employs simpler visual stimuli with less semantic content, mirroring RAET's structure. This study was conducted to examine how the complexity and semantic content of visual stimuli impact the performance of migraine sufferers.The psychophysical responses of 41 migraine patients were evaluated across both learning tests. In RAET, the stimuli consist of illustrated faces (antecedents) and colored fish (consequents). Conversely, the Polygon test uses grayscale circles as antecedents and colorless two-dimensional geometric shapes as consequents.Our findings diverged from previous results obtained from a healthy demographic. During the acquisition phase, there was no noticeable difference in the performance of migraineurs across the two tests. Nonetheless, the reaction times in the Polygon test were significantly longer. Performance in terms of retrieval and generalization did not vary between the tests, yet, akin to the acquisition phase, the Polygon test elicited considerably longer reaction times.These outcomes indicate that, unlike in healthy adults, migraine sufferers show no difference in performance during the acquisition phase of both tests. The longer reaction times observed in the Polygon test, however, imply that migraine patients may find it more challenging to learn tasks involving reduced visual stimuli.
