Armando Machado’s research focuses on the senses of time and number in animals, in how they discriminate the duration of events and the numerosity of stimuli. In most of his studies, he contrasts the results of laboratory experiments, mostly with pigeons, with the predictions of simple mathematical models of temporal and numerical learning.
