Abstract
Birds are laterally-eyed animals with specialized and distinct retinal areas for frontal and lateral vision. Previous research indicated that frontal and lateral information were stored separately in long-term memory. Our research suggests that information from different visual fields is encoded separately based on contextual information, rather than fully integrated.
