Title: Discrimination of Two Auditory Durations by Pigeons
Authors: Kinchla, Juliane B.
Advisor: Morrison, G. Rolfe
Department: Psychology
Publication Date: Aug-1969
Abstract: <p>Auditory duration discrimination in pigeons was investigated using a procedure designed to provide a direct analogue to the conventional "yes-no" signal detection task with humans. Two experiments were reported and discussed, the scope of which include development and maintenance of the discrimination using highly confusable durations, manipulation of the values of the auditory durations, achievement of stochastic stationary, manipulation of the probability of reinforcement and extinction of the discrimination.</p>
