Description:
Pigeons discriminated between stimulus changes dependent on their pecking and stimulus changes occurring independently of their behavior. Their performance was accurate, and when the payoffs for "hits" and "correct rejections" were varied, their response bias varied in a fashion similar to that of human observers detecting signals in a background of noise.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Killeen, P R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1978 Jan 6;199(4324):88-90.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Psychology, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ 85281, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17569494" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
