Tanaka and Sato (1981) examined and demonstrated transitive inference in the pigeon before the publication of von Fersen, Wynne, Delius, and Staddon (1991), which is commonly cited as the first paper demonstrating this phenomenon in pigeons. Unfortunately, Tanaka and Sato's study is unknown to researchers in countries other than Japan, because it was not published in any refereed journal, but in the proceedings of a Japanese academic meeting. Their study and foresightedness, however, should be recognized.
