    Pigeons learned to distinguish between line tilts for food rewards. Generalization tests showed their peak response to the trained stimulus, with an area shift but no peak shift observed.

    Area of Science:

    • Comparative psychology
    • Animal behavior
    • Learning and memory

    Background:

    • Autoshaped discrimination learning is a key model for understanding associative learning.
    • Generalization gradients reveal the perceptual distinctiveness of learned stimuli.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate generalization patterns following intradimensional discrimination training in pigeons.
    • To determine if peak shift occurs after intradimensional autoshaped discrimination.

    Main Methods:

    • Pigeons were trained on a discrimination between a 45-degree line tilt (S+) and a 15-degree line tilt (S-).
    • Generalization tests were conducted using seven line tilts in extinction.
    • Response gradients were analyzed for maxima, minima, and shifts.

    Main Results:

    • All pigeons successfully learned the discrimination within 17 sessions.
    • Generalization gradients showed maxima at the S+ (45 degrees) and minima at the S- (15 degrees).
    • An area shift was observed, but no peak shift occurred.

    Conclusions:

    • Pigeons exhibit generalization gradients centered on the positive stimulus after intradimensional training.
    • The results indicate that peak shift does not consistently occur in this specific autoshaped discrimination paradigm.
