Primes¶
- Supernormal Stimulus
- In classical ethology it is the founding demonstration: geese rolling an artificially-large fake egg in preference to their own, and gull chicks pecking harder at an exaggerated artificial bill-spot than at a real parental bill.
This sourceFounding ethological account of supernormal stimuli, including the herring-gull-chick begging-peck response to an exaggerated red-marked rod and the goose retrieving an oversized artificial egg — the prime's canonical experiments.

Mechanisms¶
- Salience Normalization Test
- It is the empirical descendant of the supernormal stimulus demonstration, where a response is shown to follow the exaggerated cue rather than the real referent when the two are pulled apart.
This sourceDescribes supernormal stimuli as exaggerated cues that elicit stronger responses than the natural stimulus they mimic.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
