在行为研究中有效地利用生物体需要对其感觉系统有透彻的了解。因此,在鸽子实验中,视觉刺激的突出作用促使了对鸽子视觉系统的研究(例如,Ferster和Skinner, 1957)。本文回顾了一些关于鸽子视觉敏锐度的文献,并试图以一种有用的方式描述其视觉系统。一些证据表明,鸽子的眼睛包含一个远视或正常视力区域,用于横向或“全景”观看,以及一个近视或近视区域,用于前视或“双筒立体”观看。外侧视野远视的证据。鸽子眼睛有远视的证据,很大一部分来自偶然的观察,如利瓦伊所说:“毫无疑问,鸽子饲养者多次看到他的鸽子把头歪向一边,惊恐地看着远处天空中的某些物体。很多时候,这个物体超出了幻想者的视野,或者是一只鹰或其他鸟类在遥远的地方飞行,以至于几乎看不见”(Levi, 1957, p。249)。事实上,鸽子的侧视似乎也被拿走了
The effective use of an organism in behavioral research calls for a thorough understanding of its sensory systems. An examination of the pigeon's visual system, therefore, is prompted bythe prominent role of visual stimuli in pigeon experiments (e.g., Ferster and Skinner, 1957). The present note reviews some literature on visual acuity in the pigeon, and attempts to characterize its visual system in a useful way. Several lines of evidence suggest that the pigeon's eye contains a hyperopic or fairsighted region, used in lateral or "panoramic" viewing, and a myopic or near-sighted region, used in anterior or "binocular-stereoscopic" viewing. Evidence for a hyperopic lateral field. A large part of the evidence for a hyperopic lateral field in the eye of the pigeon comes from casual observation, as in Levi: "The pigeon breeder, no doubt, has many times seen his birds cock their heads to one side and view with alarm some object in the distant sky. Many times the object is beyond the vision of the fancier or is a hawk or some other bird in flight so far distant as to be barely seen" (Levi, 1957,,p. 249). In fact, lateral viewing by the pigeon seems to have been as much taken
