Serial learning in the pigeon

R O Straub et al. J Exp Anal Behav. 1979 Sep.

Abstract

Three pigeons learned to peck four colors in a particular sequence, regardless of how these colors were positioned on four response keys and without feedback following each response. This demonstrates that serial learning is possible in subprimate animals.
