鸽子和人类寻找隐藏在搜索空间内不同位置的目标。目标位置相对于一系列相同的地标是固定的。鸽子在实验室地板上搜索，人类在桌面或户外田野上搜索。在实验1中，目标位于由4个地标组成的正方形阵列的中心。当地标之间的间距增加时，人类在扩大的阵列中间进行搜索，而鸽子在保持到单个地标的距离和方向的位置进行搜索。在实验2中，目标位于左对齐的两个地标之间，并与其垂直距离。当地标间距增加时，人类，而不是鸽子，沿着垂直轴将他们的搜索从地标转移开。这些结果与触摸屏任务中获得的结果相当。因此，鸽子和人类在使用标志性建筑的方式上有所不同。
Pigeons and humans searched for a goal that was hidden in varied locations within a search space. The goal location was fixed relative to an array of identical landmarks. Pigeons searched on the laboratory floor, and humans searched on a table top or an outdoor field. In Experiment 1, the goal was centered in a square array of 4 landmarks. When the spacing between landmarks was increased, humans searched in the middle of the expanded array, whereas pigeons searched in locations that preserved distance and direction to an individual landmark. In Experiment 2, the goal was centered between and a perpendicular distance away from 2 landmarks aligned in the left-fight dimension. When landmark spacing was increased, humans, but not pigeons, shifted their searching away from the landmarks along the perpendicular axis. These results parallel those obtained in touch-screen tasks. Thus, pigeons and humans differ in how they use landmark configuration.
