SQAB – 31st Annual Meeting Chicago, May 22 – 24, 2008 Abstract: In double temporal bisection procedures, pigeons learn to discriminate two pairs of stimulus durations (eg: 2” vs 8”; 4” vs 16”) by pecking at different comparison stimuli. Tests at intermediate durations corresponding to a stimulus in the competing discrimination (eg: 4” or 8”) have shown response bias for the relative duration associated to that stimulus – short or long (Zentall et al., 2004). We obtained indifference on the same test durations and argue that both results are dynamic outcomes of basic contingencies of reinforcement. Following Davison and Nevin (1999), we describe the double bisection task as a 4-stimulus, 4-Response conditional discrimination procedure, assume generalization across stimuli and responses and predict choice based on the relative value of the alternatives. We show how this model can generate different psychometric functions, fit the model to our data, and test novel predictions from the estimated parameters.
