An automated apparatus for the study of visual discriminations in pigeons.
A fully automated apparatus for the study of visual discriminations in pigeons is described. The apparatus allows the presentation of a single stimulus for successive discriminations and of two or more stimuli at the same time for simultaneous discriminations. It has proven advantageous for comparing successive and simultaneous discriminations in tests of interocular transfer.
