Three experiments attempted to determine which properties of pictorial representations of objects control their discrimination by pigeons. A particular focus was whether the representation mediating such discriminations could be described by the simple viewpoint-invariant primitive volumes of I. Biederman's (1987) recognition-by-components theory of object recognition or by J. Cerella's (1990) particulate features. In all 3 experiments, pigeons were first trained to discriminate drawings of 4 stimulus objects with half of the contour deleted but with the component geons postulated by Biederman's theory recoverable. Discrimination accuracy was then compared for test items containing the original particulate features, affording the retrieval of the original component geons, or having neither of these properties of the training stimuli. Although response accuracy was significantly greater when the component geons of the original objects were retrievable, measurable control over recognition by the particulate features of the objects and by their specific locations was also found. The results are consistent with the idea of component geon recognition as one of the important factors in object discrimination.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
