REFLEXIVITY IN PIGEONS [PDF]

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
