ResumoPigeons were trained to identify Charlie Brown in "Peanuts" cartoons. Truncated and scrambled versions of Charlie Brown were subsequently treated by the pigeons as equivalent to intact versions. Recognition therefore depended only on information remaining after fragmentation of the stimulus. This suggests that pigeons respond to complex line projections as collections of local features rather than as representations of three dimensional objects.
