Abstract
In two separate experiments, pigeons trained binocularly to peck a key on which an oblique line (e.g., 60° counter-clockwise rotation from horizontal) was projected yielded bi-modal angularity generalization gradients in extinction, with peaks of responding at both the training stimulus and its mirror image (in this case 120°). This mirror-image transfer effect may be analogous to an “octave effect” in auditory generalization, but Mello's finding of a mirror-image reversal transfer effect following monocular training in pigeons suggests an alternative interpretation.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
