We present data on colour generalisation by chicks relevant to Tenenbaum and Griffiths' (T&G) Bayesian framework. Chicks were trained with either one or two colours, and tested for interpolation and extrapolation. T&G's framework predicts an observed lack of extrapolation on the red to yellow line in colour space. A modification incorporating stimulus uncertainty deals with a prototype effect, where an intermediate is preferred to exemplars. After training to complementary colours, chicks do not generalise across an intermediate grey as T&G predict. [Tenenbaum & Griffiths]
