Auto-shaping of the pigeon's key-peck

P L Brown et al. J Exp Anal Behav. 1968 Jan.

Abstract

Reliable acquisition of the pigeon's key-peck response resulted from repeated unconditional (response-independent) presentations of food after the response key was illuminated momentarily. Comparison groups showed that acquisition was dependent upon light-food pairings, in that order.
