摘要

Artificial grammar learning (AGL) can be a useful tool for exploring rule learning strategies linked to pattern perception and pattern rule learning, a prerequisite for language acquisition. Most AGL studies reasonably make use of sequentially presented acoustic strings, resulting in stimuli that in their composition resemble human speech. To overcome possible working memory constraints imposed by sequential string presentation and to thus be able to directly compare performance of humans to other species with different memory capacities, we developed an AGL task in the visual domain. Presenting visual pattern elements simultaneously instead of sequentially minimizes the amount of required working memory. This approach allowed us to evaluate performance levels of two bird species, kea (Nestor notabilis) and pigeons (Columba livia), in direct comparison to human subjects. All avian and human subjects were able to learn pattern regularities without explicit instructions and generalised learned rules to novel stimuli. Detailed testing suggests that birds and humans did not always acquire the same pattern rule, and birds made use of alternative strategies to those defined by the experimenters.
