Honey bees and fruit flies can learn associations between novel, compound visual stimuli.
“Honey bees and fruit flies can learn associations between novel, compound visual stimuli (Couvillon and Bitterman 1988; Brembs and Heisenberg 2000; Schubert et al. 2002)”
From Unlimited Associative Learning and the origins of consciousness: a primer and some predictions (2020) · cites this paper as Couvillon and Bitterman 1988
The Method and Experiment 2 passages describe honeybees learning to discriminate compound targets made from a color and an odor. They do not show bees learning associations between compounds of visual stimuli alone. The fruit-fly portion of the sentence is accompanied by other citations and is not attributed to this paper specifically; page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
