Have you considered that your targets might differ in texture, smell and evenness of color? He clearly knows the word 'red' is associated with that one target. But does he look at color or other identifying factors? Hope to see more red and other colored objects! I'm sure you're already thinking about this. Love from Belgium!

The first part is just the training project. I'm not so concerned as to why he thinks it's different, but I can't start any differentiation studies about the actual senses and till I know I can consistently train the basic one The two bucket lids are identical except for the color, and the smell of the paint is already two years old so I doubt it's that. But you are correct, if I could have him pick a Redball versus a white ball this would show something !
