Abstract

<p>Response inhibition, or the stopping of actions, is considered a key component of flexible and adaptive behavior. Across fields,response inhibition is often treated as a unitary cognitive mechanism. However, we propose that response inhibition consists of a chain of cognitive processes, including the detection of a stimulus, the selection of an appropriate behavior (go or stop), and the implementation of it (execution or inhibition of a motor response). Likewise, we propose that individual variation in response inhibition can arise at the early signal detection stage. Here we will test this idea in a detour barrier task, which is one of the most popular tools to study response inhibition in non-human animals. The role of signal detection in detour tasks has been largely neglected, with a few notable exceptions. We will therefore partially replicate two previous studies that manipulated the perceptual characteristics of the barrier, while addressing some conceptual and methodological shortcomings of the original work. Specifically, we will compare how detour performance of four bird species (i.e. white leghorn chickens, Japanese quails, herring gulls and domestic canaries) is differently influenced by vertical- and horizontal-barred barriers. Based on the previous work, we predict better detour performance when the perceptual characteristics of the barrier match the ecological niche of the species.</p>
