Testing behavioral flexibility in pigeons using conditional midsession reversal tasks
Midsession reversal examines behavioral flexibility by requiring animals to reverse a discrimination midway within a session. This reversal behavior is controlled by changing temporal factors over the session. We tested behavioral flexibility in pigeons by reversing the contingencies within a session from a visual matching‐to‐sample (MTS) task to a non‐matching‐to‐sample (NMTS) task. To examine how visual context influenced the reversal, the stim…

Understanding early horse transport in eastern Eurasia through analysis of equine dentition
Across Eurasia, horse transport transformed ancient societies. Although evidence for chariotry is well dated, the origins of horse riding are less clear. Techniques to distinguish chariotry from riding in archaeological samples rely on elements not typically recovered from many steppe contexts. Here, the authors examine horse remains of Mongolia's Deer Stone-Khirigsuur (DSK) Complex, comparing them with ancient and modern East Asian horses used f…
Variability Discrimination in Humans and Animals
Both humans and animals live in a rich world of events. Some events repeat themselves, whereas others constantly change. The authors propose that discriminating this stability, sameness, and uniformity from change, differentness, and diversity is fundamental to adaptive action. Evidence from many areas of behavioral science indicates that the discrimination of and preference for stimulus variability affects both human and animal action. Recent co…
Emerson's "Self-Reliance," Sweeney, and Prufrock
F 0. MATTHIESSEN has recorded both Eliot's sustained distaste for and the fact that Eliot is deeply indebted to the whole New England tradition of which Emerson is a part.' Emerson's faith in the infinite capacity of the human soul must have seemed naive to Eliot; his tendency to deny the normal bonds of community, friendship, and family in favor of a mystical oneness of all things must have been uncongenial; his scorn for history and the great l…
