Journal ArticleDOI
Memory processing of serial lists by pigeons, monkeys and people
TL;DR: List memory of pigeons, monkeys, and humans was tested with lists of four visual items and revealed a consistent modification of the serial-position function shape: a monotonically increasing function at the shortest interval, a U-shaped function at intermediate intervals, and amonotonically decreasingfunction at the longest interval.
Journal ArticleDOI
Concept learning by pigeons: Matching-to-sample with trial-unique video picture stimuli

TL;DR: Pigeons were trained to match-to-sample with several new methodologies: a large number of stimuli, computer-drawn color picture stimuli, responses monitored by a computer touch screen, stimuli presented horizontally from the floor, and grain reinforcement delivered onto the picture stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Color-naming functions for the pigeon.
TL;DR: Six pigeons were trained to match wavelengths in a three-key matching-to-sample paradigm and the relatively slow acquisition supported the proposition that 540 nm and 595 nm may be transition point wavelengths between pigeon hues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Music perception and octave generalization in rhesus monkeys.
TL;DR: It is shown that tonal melodies form musical gestalts for monkeys, as they do for humans, and retain their identity when transposed with whole octaves so that chroma (key) is preserved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serial probe recognition performance by a rhesus monkey and a human with 10- and 20-item lists.
TL;DR: A rhesus monkey performed at high accuracy in a serial probe recognition task with color pictures as stimuli and demonstrated the theoretically important primacy and recency effects with lists containing as many as 10 or 20 items.
