Conditioned 'prehension' in the pigeon: kinematics, coordination and stimulus control of the pecking response.

Abstract:

:Like human prehensile behavior, the pigeon's ingestive pecking response is elicited by visual stimuli conveying information about the location and size of the target. This information is used to generate localized ingestive pecks whose gapes are amplitude-scaled to seed size, prior to contact. We employed high-resolution, 'real-time' monitoring of head acceleration, jaw movements and terminal peck location to examine the kinematics, coordination and stimulus control of conditioned pecking. Conditioning procedures were used to bring pecking under the control of visual targets whose stimulus properties (size, location) were independently varied, while simultaneously monitoring pecking response parameters. Stimulus control of the transport component (peck localization) is extremely precise, even in the absence of a specific localization-dependent reinforcement contingency. Subjects also showed amplitude-scaling of gape size to the size of a visual target, but over a more restricted range than shown to food pellets of comparable sizes. Comparison of the kinematic profiles of conditioned and ingestive pecks suggests that conditioned pecking is functionally analogous to human 'pointing' rather than 'grasping' behavior.
