The pigeon's distant visual acuity as a function of viewing angle.

Abstract:

:Distant visual acuity was determined for several viewing angles in two restrained White Carneaux pigeons. The behavioral technique was a classical conditioning procedure that paired presentation of sinusoidal gratings with shock. A conditioned heart rate acceleration during the grating presentation indicated resolution of the grating. The bird's acuity was fairly uniform across a large range of their lateral visual field; performance decreased slightly for posterior stimulus placement and sharply for frontal placements. The data suggest that foveal viewing is relatively less advantageous for acuity in pigeons than in humans. The data are also consistent with the current view that pigeons are myopic in frontal vision.
