What are the minimal conditions for the formation of chunks by a pigeon learning an arbitrary list? Experiment 1 compared the acquisition of two types of chunkable list (each composed of colors and achromatic geometric forms): A→ B→ C→ D′→ E′(or A′→ B′→ C′→ D→ E) and A→ B→ C′→ D′→ E′(or A′→ B′→ C→ D→ E). The first type of list was acquired more rapidly than the second. On both lists, however, evidence of chunking did not emerge until the four-item phase of training (eg, pauses at the end of one category of list item). In Experiment 2, chunking was shown to occur on four-item lists in which colors and forms were segregated (A→ B→ C′→ D′ and A′→ B′→ C→ D), but not on lists in which the two types of items were interspersed (A→ B′→ C′→ D and A′→ B→ C→ D′). As in Experiment 1, evidence of chunking (pauses at chunk boundaries) did not appear until the fourth item was added.
