The windows task is difficult for young children. In this task, a child is shown two boxes with windows revealing that one is empty, whereas the other contains a treat. The child is asked to point to a box for an opponent to look in. The child then "... Read More about What makes the windows task difficult for young children: Rule inference or rule use?.

Representational blending in human conditional learning: Implications for associative theory (2003)
Journal Article

Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology Section B. Comparative and Physiological Psychology, 56(2b), 223-238. https://doi.org/10.1080/02724990244000269

In two experiments, participants were presented with pictures of different foods (A, B, C, D, X, Y) and learned which combinations resulted in an allergic reaction in a fictitious patient, Mr X. In Problem 1, when A or B (but not C or D) was combined... Read More about Representational blending in human conditional learning: Implications for associative theory.

Discrimination of structure: II. Feature binding. (2003)

In 3 experiments, pigeons acquired a discrimination between patterns comprising the same features. Thus vertical green bars beside horizontal red bars might have signaled food, and horizontal green bars beside vertical red bars might have signaled no...

Virtual search asymmetry in pigeons. (2003)
Journal Article
Pearce, J. M., & George, D. N. (2003). Virtual search asymmetry in pigeons. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes, 29(2), 118-129. https://doi.org/10.1037/0097-7403.29.2.118

Pigeons received an odd-item search task that involved an array of 12 patterns containing 11 similar distractors and a single target. Pecks to the target resulted in the delivery of food. Accuracy was greater on trials when a distinctive feature was... Read More about Virtual search asymmetry in pigeons..
