Rotational object discrimination by pigeons.
Four experiments examined the discrimination of directional object motion by pigeons. Four pigeons were tested in a go/no-go procedure with video stimuli of pigeons rotating right or left around their central y-axis. This directional discrimination was learned in 7 to 12 sessions and was not affected by changes in object starting orientation, but did require the coherent ordering of the videos'...
متن کاملCategorization of multidimensional stimuli by pigeons.
Six pigeons responded in a visual category learning task in which the stimuli were dimensionally separable Gabor patches that varied in frequency and orientation. We compared performance in two conditions which varied in terms of whether accurate performance required that responding be controlled jointly by frequency and orientation, or selectively by frequency. Results showed that pigeons lear...
متن کاملVisual control of an action discrimination in pigeons.
Recognizing and categorizing behavior is essential for all animals. The visual and cognitive mechanisms underlying such action discriminations are not well understood, especially in nonhuman animals. To identify the visual bases of action discriminations, four pigeons were tested in a go/no-go procedure to examine the contribution of different visual features in a discrimination of walking and ...
متن کاملAsymmetry pays: visual lateralization improves discrimination success in pigeons
Functional cerebral asymmetries, once thought to be exclusively human, are now accepted to be a widespread principle of brain organization in vertebrates [1]. The prevalence of lateralization makes it likely that it has some major advantage. Until now, however, conclusive evidence has been lacking. To analyze the relation between the extent of cerebral asymmetry and the degree of performance in...
متن کاملDiscrimination and categorization of actions by pigeons.
Recognizing and categorizing behavior is essential for animals (e.g., during mate selection, courtship, and avoidance of predators). In a study examining if and how animals classify different actions, a go/no-go procedure was used to train 4 pigeons to discriminate among "walking" and "running" digital animal models (each portrayed from 12 different viewpoints). Action discrimination acquired f...
