An investigator is interested in the potential role of the occipital lobe in motion detection. She predicts that the occipital lobe mediates the behavior of motion detection. To test this hypothesis she first trains a pigeon to peck a key for food delivery when a moving stimulus is present and not to peck when a stationary stimulus is present. She then lesions the occipital lobe and observes that the pigeon no longer pecks in the presence of a moving stimulus. She concludes that the occipital lobe is the part of the brain responsible for detection of motion.
