Jones, R. B., Larkins, C., Hughes, B. O.

Abstract

Chicks are highly responsive to video images. Their reactions .. provide evidence of some attraction for novelty. .. If complex video images are intrinsically attractive to chicks they might provide a highly visible form of additional stimulation; their easily varied nature could also help to sustain interest.
