Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2010 A recent theory of pigeons' equivalence‐class formation (Urcuioli, 2008) predicts that reflexivity, an untrained ability to match a stimulus to itself, should be observed after training on two “mirror‐image” symbolic successive matching tasks plus identity successive matching using some of the symbolic matching stimuli. One group of pigeons was trained

The pigeon’s concept of pigeon [PDF]
Psychonomic Science, 1971 Pigeons were trained to discriminate between the presence and absence of a pigeon in photographic displays projected on a response key. Irrelevant cues were reduced as much as possible, while the differences between the objects were of sufficient variety and complexity to ensure that mastery of the discrimination would require the use of a concept. The

Pigeon breeders’ lung: pigeon intestinal mucin, an antigen distinct from pigeon IgA [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 1991 SUMMARY Antigens identified by indirect immunofluorescence staining and specific for sera from patients with pigeon breeders’ lung or healthy pigeon breeders, have been isolated from pigeon intestinal mucus. Two antigenic peaks, one pigeon intestinal mucin and the other IgA, were separated by equilibrium centrifugation of water-soluble ...
