Discrimination reversal learning has been used as a measure of species flexibility in dealing with changes in reinforcement contingency. In the simultaneous-discrimination, midsession reversal task, one stimulus (S1) is correct for the first half of the session and the other stimulus (S2) is correct for the second half. After training, pigeons show a curious pattern of choices. They begin to respond to S2 well before the reversal point (they make anticipatory errors) and they continue to respond to S1 well after the reversal (they make perseverative errors). That is, they appear to be using the passage of time or number of trials into the session as a cue to reverse and are less sensitive to the feedback at point of reversal. To determine if the nature of the discrimination or a failure of memory for the stimulus chosen on the preceding trial contributed to the pigeons’ less than optimal performance, we manipulated the nature of the discrimination (spatial or visual) and the duration of the intertrial interval (5.0 or 1.5 s) to determine under what conditions pigeons would show efficient reversal learning. The major finding was that only when the discrimination was spatial and the intertrial interval was short did the pigeons perform optimally.
