    5 button presses of any color in any order would dispense a food reward.

    With rules like that, I don’t understand why you would expect the pigeons to repeat the same sequence. Of course, this is yet another study that shouldn’t have even made it through peer review.

      They thought the pigeons would develop a favourite button or a favourite pattern. But the pigeons prefer variety over favourites.
