Table 6. Group social rank for adult male pheasants of both cohorts, the number of females they were randomly assigned during the perceived dominance condition (PD) and first choice on a binary spatial discrimination task group social rank for adult male pheasants of both cohorts, the number of females they were randomly assigned (2 or 4) during the perceived dominance condition (PD) and first choice on a binary spatial discrimination task (prior to the opportunity for learning).

Males of cohort I were unknown birds that experienced the social group condition (SG) before cognitive testing in the perceived dominance condition (PD). Males of cohort II are known males that experienced these conditions in reverse.
