Procedure for Studying Olfactory Discrimination in Pigeons

W J Michelsen. Science. 1959.

Abstract

A discrimination, based on olfactory stimuli, was established in two pigeons by an operant conditioning procedure. Results from control sessions demonstrate that the discrimination can be attributed only to the presence or absence of olfactory stimuli.
