Pigeons' (Columba livia) spatial reference memory is stable over long retention intervals
Pigeons received training sessions in which a 3 x 3 matrix of pecking keys was lit with red light. Pecking a particular key (but not the other eight keys) produced grain reward on an intermittent schedule. After this key-location discrimination was learned, subjects received occasional, nonrewarded test sessions, followed immediately by a "relearning" session. The time between these test sessio...
متن کاملTemporal modulation of spatial contrast vision in pigeons (Columba livia)
Spatiotemporal contrast sensitivity (CS) functions were obtained from four White Carneaux pigeons. The spatial frequency for each session was selected randomly from a group of five spatial frequencies ranging from 0.42 to 1.26 c/deg. Within the session, the temporal frequency varied from 1 to 32 Hz. When plotted as a function of spatial frequency, the CS functions peaked in the range 0.7-1.0 c/...
متن کاملOrthographic processing in pigeons (Columba livia).
Learning to read involves the acquisition of letter-sound relationships (i.e., decoding skills) and the ability to visually recognize words (i.e., orthographic knowledge). Although decoding skills are clearly human-unique, given they are seated in language, recent research and theory suggest that orthographic processing may derive from the exaptation or recycling of visual circuits that evolved...
متن کاملSpatial Memory in Pigeons (Columba livia) in an Open-Field Feeding Environment
Pigeons, unlike rats, do not display very accurate spatial working memory when tested in the traditional radial arm maze apparatus unless they are given special and extended training (cf. Roberts & Van Veldhuizen, 1985). One possible reason for their apparent "unpreparedness" to display spatial memory abilities in radial arm mazes is that, in the wild, pigeons tend to feed in open-field environ...
متن کاملVisually Elicited Head Rotation In Pigeons (Columba livia)
Horizontal rotational head movements were video-taped from pigeons standing freely in a rotating cylinder. The cylinder carried vertically striped patterns approximating a sinusoidally modulated horizontal intensity distribution. We altered systematically various stimulus parameters: spatial wavelength and contrast of the pattern, angular velocity of the pattern motion and mode of motion onset....
