This weblink refers to the movie dealing with: Species-specific prey-selection in the common toad with reference to the “worm” vs. “anti-worm” discrimination and its invariance under changes of other stimulus parameters, such as object motion, movement pattern, shift of retinal image (induced movement), direction of movement, background contrast, and background texture.
A3: Gestalt Perception in the Common Toad-2: Modification of Prey Recognition by Learning (No.: C1431). https://av.tib.eu/media/15242
The weblink refers to the movie dealing with: Modification of species-specific prey selection in common toads by learning, such as visual/olfactory associative learning, visual/visual (hand-feeding) associative learning and non-associative learning (stimulus-specific habituation).
