The nature of discrimination learning in pigeons.
The results from five experiments are considered in relation to two of Spence's (1937, 1938) proposals concerning discrimination learning. In Experiments 1 and 2, we investigated whether his ideas about the interaction between excitatory and inhibitory generalization gradients can be used to understand how animals solve a complex patterning discrimination. The results supported a development of...
متن کاملRotational 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 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...
متن کاملGeneralized auditory same-different discrimination by pigeons.
Three pigeons were trained in a successive same/different (S/D) procedure using compound auditory stimuli (pitch/timbre combinations). Using a go/no-go procedure, pigeons successfully learned to discriminate between sequences of either all same (AAAA...or BBBB...) or all different (ABCD...) sequences consisting of 12 sounds. Both pitch and timbre were subsequently established as controlling dim...
متن کاملDiscrimination of contour-deleted images by pigeons.
Three experiments attempted to determine which properties of pictorial representations of objects control their discrimination by pigeons. A particular focus was whether the representation mediating such discriminations could be described by the simple viewpoint-invariant primitive volumes of Biederman's (1987) recognition-by-components theory of object recognition or by Cerella's (1990) partic...
