Abstract

Separating and isolating the contributions of perception to concept formation in animals has been a long-standing and persistent challenge. Here we describe a novel approach to assessing this question by using equivalence training consisting of unrelated images as the basis for subsequent same/different (S/D) learning. Following equivalence class training, two groups of pigeons attempted to learn a go/no-go discrimination task constructed from these classes. In the go/no-go task, a consistent group was given an S/D assignment that aligned with this prior training (same vs. different classes). An inconsistent group was given go/no-go assignments that were misaligned with their established classes. The consistent group exhibited better learning and stimulus control in their S/D task than did the inconsistent group. These results suggest that pigeons can use trained properties derived from class-based information to learn an S/D task without the aid of perceptual similarity. This novel approach holds promise for helping to evaluate the contribution of perceptual similarity to different types of concept learning.

等价类训练对鸽子同/异学习的影响
将感知对动物概念形成的贡献进行分离和隔离一直是一个长期存在的难题。在这里,我们描述了一种评估这一问题的新方法,即使用由不相关图像组成的等价训练作为后续相同/不同(S/D)学习的基础。在等价类训练之后,两组鸽子尝试学习由等价类构建的 "去/不去 "辨别任务。在 "去/不去 "任务中,一致组接受与先前训练一致的 "S/D "分配(同类与异类)。不一致组的去/不去任务与他们的既定类别不一致。与不一致组相比,一致组在S/D任务中表现出更好的学习能力和刺激控制能力。这些结果表明,鸽子可以利用基于类别信息的训练特性来学习S/D任务,而无需感知相似性的帮助。这种新方法有望帮助评估知觉相似性对不同类型概念学习的贡献。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有)。
