Natural concepts in pigeons
Abstract
Pigeons learned to discriminate pictures of trees, bodies of water, or a particular person in three separate experiments. Pictures being seen for the first time were discriminated almost as well as pictures seen in training. The pigeons in each experiment showed similar patterns of errors and correct discrimination.
