Information processing by pigeons (Columba livia): incentive as information.
Experiment 1 showed that the Hick-Hyman law (W. E. Hick, 1952; R. Hyman, 1953) described the effects of anticipated reinforcement, a form of incentive, on pigeons' (Columba livia) reaction time to respond to a target spatial location. Reaction time was an approximately linear function of amount of information interpreted as probability of reinforcement, implying that pigeons processed incentive...
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 کاملSame/Different Reversal Learning in Pigeons (Columba livia) by
Reversal learning is a common procedure for studying discrimination learning, but has yet to be studied in a same/different abstract-concept learning task. In the present study, the ability to learn a same/different task with repeated contingency reversals was assessed in 4 pigeons with extensive experience in a two-item same/different task. Subjects were shown a sample picture and required pec...
متن کاملImitation and affordance learning by pigeons (Columba livia).
The bidirectional control procedure was used to determine whether pigeons (Columba livia) would imitate a demonstrator that pushed a sliding screen for food. One group of observers saw a trained demonstrator push a sliding screen door with its beak (imitation group), whereas 2 other groups watched the screen move independently (possibly learning how the environment works) with a conspecific eit...
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....
