Abstract
Pigeons previously trained to peck 1 button
(
same
) after the successive presentation of 16
identical pictures and to peck a 2nd button
(
different
) after the successive presentation of 16
nonidentical pictures were tested on lists involving different degrees of
variability, different list lengths, and different temporal
organizations of list items. The pigeons' performances on this
successive same-different task revealed a strong sensitivity to list
entropy; but, their discrimination was also affected by their memory
for list items and by the accumulated evidence for a
same
versus a
different
response. Statistical models
confirmed and quantified the importance of these additional
factors.
