This study examined the sensory features of postnatal social experience that bobwhite quail chicks (Colinus virginianus) require to maintain species-typical responding to maternal auditory-visual cues. Chicks were reared in 1 of 3 conditions after hatching: altered tactile, auditory, or visual experience with siblings. Findings revealed that altered tactile, auditory, or visual experience during the first 36 or the first 72 hr following hatching modified chicks' preferential responding to species-specific maternal cues. During the second 36 hr, altered tactile or auditory experience disrupted chicks' perceptual development, whereas altered visual experience did not affect species-typical responsiveness. Results indicate that (a) timing of early postnatal visual experience can affect early filial responsiveness to maternal cues and (b) normal sensory experience derived from early social interaction affects species-typical perceptual development.
本研究考察了美国鹧鸪雏鸟（Colinus virginianus）维持对母体视听线索的物种典型反应所需的产后社会经验的感官特征。雏鸟孵化后在三种条件之一中饲养：与兄弟姐妹改变触觉、听觉或视觉体验。研究结果显示，孵化后最初36小时或最初72小时内改变触觉、听觉或视觉体验会改变雏鸟对物种特异性母体线索的偏好反应。在第二个36小时内，改变触觉或听觉体验会扰乱雏鸟的感知发育，而改变视觉体验则不会影响物种典型反应性。结果表明：（a）产后早期视觉体验的时机可影响早期对母体线索的亲子反应，以及（b）早期社会互动产生的正常感官体验会影响物种典型的感知发育。
