When testing for categorization in pigeons, Herrnstein (1979) taught pigeons to categorize trees by discriminating trees from non-trees. Which is a correct finding from this study? a) Pigeons learned to successfully discriminate pictures of trees from pictures without trees, but could not successfully generalize this skill to novel/new tree pictures. b) Pigeons learned to successfully discriminate pictures of trees from pictures without trees, but could not successfully discriminate other stimuli (i.e., to identify pictures of animals). c) Pigeons learned to successfully discriminate pictures of trees from pictures without trees, and also successfully generalized this skill to novel/new tree pictures. d) Pigeons could not learn to successfully discriminate pictures of trees from pictures without trees, but could successfully discriminate other stimuli (i.e., to identify pictures of animals).
