Pigeons were trained to discriminate between the presence and absence of apparent movement in visual displays. Generalization gradients obtained on the dimension of speed indicated a broad range of movement detection. Extremely accurate discrimination performance on displays varying in direction of movement suggested formation of a “movement concept”.
