Abstract
Conducted 3 experiments with a total of 80 homing pigeons and 10 hybrid cock pigeons to investigate selective discrimination learning during acquisition training. A 2-key autoshaping procedure was used in which Ss' responses to the common and distinctive elements of 2 successively presented compound visual stimuli were recorded separately. The difference between the correlations with reinforcement of the compound stimuli influenced between- and within-trial discrimination learning. The methods and findings of these experiments are discussed in terms of several views of stimulus selection in animal discrimination learning. (23 ref)
