通过点击相应的发光响应键来匹配闪烁或稳定的样本。在每一次正确的啄击之后，都会用谷物进行短暂的加固。在样品消失和响应键s点亮之间存在0至10秒的延迟。在给定的实验会话期间，四个预定的延迟以随机顺序出现。每次会议由400个正确匹配的演讲组成。结果以所使用的每个延迟的正确响应%表示。在2只鸟中，正确匹配的百分比是延迟持续时间的相当稳定的递减函数，从0秒时的约90-95%下降到5秒时的60-70%。在另一对鸟中，正确匹配的百分比是延迟的不稳定函数。记录的最佳一致性性能在10秒的延迟下优于90%的正确率。刻板的“迷信”行为，观察在所有的鸟类在延迟间隔。
Pigeons matched a flickering or steady sample by pecking the corresponding illuminated response key. Brief reinforcement with grain followed each correct peck. Delays of from 0 to 10 seconds intervened between the disappearance of the sample and the illumination of the response key,s. Four predetermined delays appeared in random order during a given experimental session. Each session consisted of 400 correctly matched presentations. Results are expressed in terms of % correct responses at each of the delays used. In 2 birds, the percentage of correct matches was a rather stable decreasing function of the delay duration, falling from approximately 90-95% at 0 second to 60-70% at 5 seconds. In another pair of birds, the percentage of correct matches was an unstable function of delay. The best consistent performance recorded was better than 90% correct at a delay of 10 seconds. Stereotyped "superstitious" behavior was observed in all birds during the delay interval.
