The study of social learning in animals is carried out with pigeons. Both imitative learning processes between two pigeons and social foraging processes in groups of pigeons are evaluated.The study of perceptual learning in humans assesses simple and complex discriminative processes based on dynamic changes in stimulus configuration.
