Investigated maze learning in domestic pigeons, to understand the characteristics of the pigeon's normal learning record; to estimate the length of time for which the acquired coordinations persist unimpaired; and to examine the effect of rotating and shortening of the maze. The labyrinth used, on 8 pigeons (4 males, 4 females), was a modified version of one used by J. E. Rouse (1906). Partitions of the maze were made of wood and covered with wire. While labyrinth A and B differed in their complexity, labyrinth C was used to test kinesthetic control. It was found that the pigeons were not very well adapted to maze work, and were slower in learning than rodents. Memory (organic) for simple labyrinth problems was practically perfect for 4 wks. They depended upon the visual and kinesthetic cues in maze learning. The pigeons were capable of changing their system of cues in response to the varying demands of a new situation.
