We trained budgerigars by operant conditioning to discriminate among a set of contact calls in a same–different task and analyzed response latencies from this task by using multidimensional-scaling (MDS) and cluster-analysis procedures. Humans listened to the same calls and indicated the similarity between pairs of calls by a direct rating procedure. An MDS program ({sindscal}) was used to arrange these complex acoustic stimuli in multidimensional space reflecting perceptual organization. Multiple regression techniques were used to identify the acoustic characteristics of contact calls that were correlated with the peceptual dimensions obtained from MDS. A number of spectral characteristics (eg, peak frequency, rate of frequency modulation, and concentration of spectral energy) emerged as important for both budgerigars and humans, but the relative salience of these cues differed for the two species. Additional tests with two groups of budgerigars—cagemates and noncagemates—showed that experience with calls can change the salience of various acoustic characteristics used for perceptual organization and individual recognition.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved)
