Fagot, Joël (2017). Orthographic processing in animals : implications for comparative psychologists. Learning and Behavior, 45(3), 209-210 Abstract – Two recent studies have shown that pigeons and baboons can discriminate written English words from nonwords, and these findings were interpreted as demonstrating that orthographic processing is possible in absence of linguistic knowledge. Here, I […]
