Hens use occlusion to judge depth in a two-dimensional picture

B Forkman - Perception, 1998 - journals.sagepub.com
Hens (Gallus gallus domesticus) were taught to peck at a touch screen. On the screen was a
grid on which a square and a circle were depicted. The square and the circle were given …

Horses are sensitive to pictorial depth cues

Minimization of modal contours: An essential cross-species strategy in disambiguating relative depth

B Forkman, G Vallortigara - Animal Cognition, 1999 - Springer
Two chromatically identical patterns, a diamond and a ladder, were shown on a computer
touchscreen. Domestic hens were reinforced for pecking at the pattern that was the highest …
