INTEROCULAR GENERALIZATION ON COLOR STIMULI IN PIGEONS

抄録

Pigeons were trained with only one eye open to respond to one color stimulus and stimulus generalizations with both eyes open and with either eye open were tested in extinction trials. Generalization gradients along a spectral continuum were no differences between them except the rates of responding. Following conditional training in which appropriate responding depended on which eye was covered, generalization curves showed a bimodal shape which was made by the maximum rates of responding for two training stimuli, not only for both eyes open, but also for either eye open except the rates of responding.
