Oddity of visual patterns conceptualized by pigeons
Pigeons were trained to learn an instrumental oddity-from-sample discrimination involving visual forms. One group, the "few examples" group, dealt with 5 patterns in 40 different combinations. Another group, the "many examples" group, dealt with 20 patterns in 160 different combinations. After both groups had reached asymptotic performance and had learned to operate under partial reinforcement ...
متن کاملVisual symmetry recognition by pigeons.
Pigeons learned to discriminate a large number of bilateral symmetric and asymmetric visual patterns successively projected on the pecking-key of an operant conditioning chamber. Responses to the positive stimuli were reinforced according to a variable interval schedule. Once acquisition was complete generalization trials, involving sets of new stimuli, were instituted under extinction. The bir...
متن کاملForgetting of visual discriminations by pigeons.
A series of three experiments examined the forgetting of visual discriminations by pigeons. The problems consisted of feature discriminations, with dot displays as the discriminative stimuli, and involved a successive go-no-go pecking response. It was found, in all three experiments, that pigeons trained to refrain from pecking an S- display resumed pecking at this display after retention inter...
متن کاملVisual Performance of Pigeons
Even superficial observation of birds in their natural environment suggests that the performance of their visual system is at least on a par with ours. Many detailed field studies amply confirm this inference. During a 3-year study of free-ranging skylarks (Alauda arvensis), circumstantial evidence indicated that their vision was superior to that of the observer in a variety of situations (Deli...
متن کاملScratch and match: pigeons learn matching and oddity with gravel stimuli.
Two groups of 4 pigeons learned either matching-to-sample or oddity-from-sample by digging in white and black gravel for buried grain. Learning occurred as early as Trial 11, and acquisition was accelerated by as much as 100-fold compared with learning in traditional key-peck environments. Control experiments showed that performance was not controlled by cues other than the gravel stimuli and w...
