Vasconcelos, Urcuioli, and Lionello-DeNolf (2007) report the results of five experiments that fail to replicate the results of our within-trial contrast study (Clement, Feltus, Kaiser, & Zentall, 2000) and suggest that our results may represent a Type I Error. We believe that this conclusion is not warranted because (a) there is considerable evidence in support of the effect and (b) the amount of training that they gave to their pigeons prior to test may not have been sufficient to observe the effect reliably. We suggest that when sufficient training is provided, reliable contrast can be found.
瓦斯康塞洛斯、乌尔乔利和利奥内洛 - 德诺夫（2007年）报告了五项实验的结果，这些实验未能重复我们的试验内对比研究（克莱门特、费尔图斯、凯泽和曾塔尔，2000年）的结果，并表明我们的结果可能代表了第一类错误。我们认为这一结论是没有根据的，因为（a）有大量证据支持这一效应，并且（b）他们在测试前给予鸽子的训练量可能不足以可靠地观察到这一效应。我们认为，当提供足够的训练时，可以发现可靠的对比。
