小猪学会了区分复杂的音乐序列。两只鸟在一个单一的歌剧辨别学习任务中的反应超过80%的正确率时，S+是一个1分钟的巴赫长笛音乐的摘录和S-是一个1分钟的Hindemith中提琴音乐的摘录（实验1）。四只鸽子回答超过70%的正确率时，他们被要求啄两个磁盘的左边在任何部分的20分钟巴赫管风琴作品的介绍，并啄右磁盘在任何部分斯特拉文斯基的春之祭管弦乐队（实验2）。这些歧视是慢慢学会的。然而，鸟类的概括一致和独立的乐器时，提出了新的音乐摘录（实验3）。他们更喜欢左边的“巴赫盘”，当介绍布克斯特胡德和斯卡拉蒂的小说摘录时，右边的“斯特拉文斯基盘”，当介绍艾略特卡特、沃尔特活塞和斯特拉文斯基的另一部作品的小说摘录时。人们的反应也差不多。因此，鸽子对复杂听觉事件的反应可能比人们通常认为的更像人类。
Pigeons learned to discriminate between complex musical sequences. Two birds responded at more than 80% correct in a single-operandum discrimination learning task when the S+ was a 1-min excerpt of Bach flute music and the S- was a 1min excerpt of Hindemith viola music (Experiment 1). Four pigeons responded at more than 70% correct when they were required to peck the left of two disks during presentations of any portion of a 20-min Bach organ piece and to peck the right disk during any portion of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring for orchestra (Experiment 2). These discriminations were learned slowly. However, the birds generalized consistently and independently of the instruments involved when presented with novel musical excerpts (Experiment 3). They preferred the left "Bach disk" when ,novel excerpts from Buxtehude and Scarlatti were introduced and the right "Stravinsky disk" when novel excerpts from Eliot Carter, Walter Piston, and another Stravinsky work were introduced. People responded similarly. Therefore the pigeon's response to complex auditory events may be more like the human's than is often assumed.
