Abstract
A pigeon was trained on matching and oddity with red and green key colors. Illumination of a light served as a cue for matching or oddity. Injections of sodium pentobarbital and transfer to novel key colors affected matching and oddity differently, suggesting that stimulus control of two different kinds of performance had been established.
