Blocking in landmark-based search in honeybees
Blocking is by now a classic phenomenon in classical conditioning (Kamin, 1969). In blocking, what would have been learned about one conditioned stimulus (CS) is not learned or not expressed because of experience with another CS. In the first phase of training, a CS alone, CSA, is paired with the unconditioned stimulus (UCS). In the second phase of training, two CSs, CSA and CSB, are together p...
متن کاملInteractions of visual odometry and landmark guidance during food search in honeybees.
How do honeybees use visual odometry and goal-defining landmarks to guide food search? In one experiment, bees were trained to forage in an optic-flow-rich tunnel with a landmark positioned directly above the feeder. Subsequent food-search tests indicated that bees searched much more accurately when both odometric and landmark cues were available than when only odometry was available. When the ...
متن کاملLandmark Classification for Route Directions
In order for automated navigation systems to operate effectively, the route instructions they produce must be clear, concise and easily understood by users. In order to incorporate a landmark within a coherent sentence, it is necessary to first understand how that landmark is conceptualised by travellers — whether it is perceived as point-like, linelike or area-like. This paper investigates the...
متن کاملProbing navigation strategies of honeybees – landmark experiments and simulations
In this study we probed the content of the spatial memory of honeybees in two landmark manipulation experiments accompanied by computer modelling. While the results of the first experiments are in line with an image-like representation of places, the findings of the second experiment suggest that bees also memorize the depth structure of a scene, most probably inferred from optic flow. This is ...
متن کاملLandmark-based search memory in the domestic dog (Canis familiaris).
Recent studies have suggested that any animal that relies on landmark-based search memory encodes and uses metric properties of space to navigate. So far, however, metric information provided by landmarks has been predominantly investigated in avian species. In the present study, I investigated whether the domestic dog (Canis familiaris), a mammalian species, encodes the distance and direction ...
