What is Target discrimination by the echolocating bat Vampyrum spectrum about?
Five specimens of Vampyrum spectrum were trained to discriminate between solid targets differing in shape or size using echolocation alone. A pair of lucite targets, one a sphere, the other a prolate spheroid, were then designed so as to produce echoes of approximately equal overall amplitude at the distance of choice by the bats, but of different frequency composition. This discrimination was successfully performed by four of the animals and the two best performers were studied in detail by photographic analysis to ascertain whether frequency or amplitude cues were ac-
