"Artificial grammar learning" in pigeons: a preliminary analysis.
An avian analogue to human artificial or synthetic grammar learning (Reber, 1967) was developed. Pigeons viewed horizontal strings of three to eight colored letters. These strings either conformed to Reber's artificial grammar or violated it in one or two locations. Pigeons categorized the letter strings as grammatical (left keypeck) or nongrammatical (right keypeck). Overall accuracy of catego...
متن کاملArtificial grammar learning in pigeons.
In two experiments, we developed a new methodology for studying complex stimulus control by spatial sequences of letters generated by artificial grammars. An artificial grammar is a system of rules that defines which letter sequences or strings are "grammatical." In Experiment 1, pigeons learned to respond differently to strings conforming to a grammar versus strings that were nongrammatical di...
متن کاملVisual artificial grammar learning in dyslexia: A meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND Literacy impairments in dyslexia have been hypothesized to be (partly) due to an implicit learning deficit. However, studies of implicit visual artificial grammar learning (AGL) have often yielded null results. AIMS The aim of this study is to weigh the evidence collected thus far by performing a meta-analysis of studies on implicit visual AGL in dyslexia. METHODS AND PROCEDURES ...
متن کاملArtificial grammar learning
A grammar is a way of specifying how elements should be ordered. One sort of grammar is a finite state grammar, as illustrated in Figure 1. It contains a finite number of states, represented by circles, connected by arrows showing allowable transitions. A grammatical sequence or ‘string’ can be produced by entering the network and changing states until the network is exited. So, for example, ac...
متن کاملVisual artificial grammar learning: comparative research on humans, kea (Nestor notabilis) and pigeons (Columba livia).
Artificial grammar learning (AGL) provides a useful tool for exploring rule learning strategies linked to general purpose pattern perception. To be able to directly compare performance of humans with other species with different memory capacities, we developed an AGL task in the visual domain. Presenting entire visual patterns simultaneously instead of sequentially minimizes the amount of requi...
