Pigeons show same-different conceptualization after training with complex visual stimuli.
Eight pigeons were first trained to peck 1 button in the presence of 16 distinct 4 x 4 arrays of identical pictures and to peck a 2nd button in the presence of 16 distinct 4 x 4 arrays of nonidentical pictures. Later, they were tested with 16 other same and 16 other different stimulus arrays involving untrained pictures. Performance to the testing arrays greatly exceeded chance levels, thus sug...
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 کاملSame/different abstract-concept learning by pigeons.
Eight pigeons were trained and tested in a simultaneous same/different task. After pecking an upper picture, they pecked a lower picture to indicate same or a white rectangle to indicate different. Increases in the training set size from 8 to 1,024 items produced improved transfer from 51.3% to 84.6%. This is the first evidence that pigeons can perform a two-item same/different task as accurate...
متن کاملEchoic memory in pigeons.
It is unknown whether birds are able to retain the memory of purely sensory auditory information such as white noise over an extended period of time. In a Pavlovian heart rate conditioning paradigm, four pigeons were trained to associate a mild electric shock with periodic random waveforms, and no shock with aperiodic noise. Periodic waveform detection requires echoic memory, i.e., the online r...
متن کاملEpisodic-like memory in pigeons.
It has been proposed that memory for personal experiences (episodic memory, rather than semantic memory) relies on the conscious review of past experience and thus is unique to humans. In an attempt to demonstrate episodic-like memory in animals, we first trained pigeons to respond to the (nonverbal) question "Did you just peck or did you just refrain from pecking?" by training them on a symbol...
