Complex Visual Concept in the Pigeon R. J. Herrnstein 1 and D. H. Loveland 1 1 Psychological Laboratories, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and General Atronics Corporation, Arlington, Massachusetts Pigeons were trained to respond to the presence or absence of human beings in photographs. The precision of their performances and the ease with which the training was accomplished suggest greater powers of conceptualization than are ordinarily attributed to animals. |
