- 1What did Sherry and Galef do (1984) ? SUppoering local enhansement?Taught a demonstrator black-capped chickadee to open milk tubs. Observer learned in conditions where they saw the other bird open the milk and feed from it but also just when they saw observer feed from already opened milk. Didn't learn if they only saw empty cage with sealed milk
- 2What did Terkel et al (1995) do?Certain black rats stripped pine cones for food, some didn't. The behaviour was learned in naive rats if they were paired with a mother who could strip cones and if an adult rat was given a partially stripped cone. They didn't learn the behaviour if naive mothers were involved. Adults didn't learn from adults.
- 3How to conclude Terkel 1995?When partially stripped cones are presented to black rats, they individually learn how to strip them and they pass this behaviour down to young
- 4What did Gould and Gould (1994) show in terms of observational conditioning?Apparatus set up with two blackbirds opposite each other but one was shown an own to make it naturally express alert calls and the other was shown a waterbottle or something neutral. As the demonstrator bird was alert calling, the other blackbird learned to alert call to a water bottle being presented
- 5Galef and Wigmore (1983)?Showed how rats learn from one another - one rat fed with food flavoured with cocao or cinnamon. When put with a naive rat, they sniffled muzzles and the naive rat would then search out the cocoa or cinnamon food
- 6Guilford and Burt de Perera (1999)?Showed that if a naive pigeon was sent to find food with a trained pigeon, the naive one didn't learn as it just relied on the trained one to show it where food was. If two naive pigeons sent together, they learned quicker
- 7Akins and Zentall (1996)Quails shown a demonstrator bird pecking at a button and receiving food. They were put into a similar apparatus where they could peck for food or step on a button. Even though both would get food, the observer bird showed preference for pecking the button, like it had observed
- 8Moore (1992)?Taught a parrot to emulate the actions of a human demonstrator. It was taught to wave, nod and stick its tongue out despite not having exactly the same anatomy as it's demonstrator.
