Hoarding titmice predominantly use Familiarity, and not Recollection, when remembering cache locations

Finding a cache site could be achieved using either Recollection (a discrete recalling of previously experienced information) or Familiarity (a feeling of "having encountered something before"). In humans, these two processes can be distinguished using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. ROC curves for olfactory memory in rats have shown the hippocampus is involved in Recollection, but not Familiarity. We test the hypothesis that f...

Spot the odd one out: do snake pictures capture macaques' attention more than other predators?
Anim Cogn. 2023 Oct 19. doi: 10.1007/s10071-023-01831-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDetecting and identifying predators quickly is key to survival. According to the Snake Detection Theory (SDT), snakes have been a substantive threat to primates for millions of years, so that dedicated visual skills were tuned to detect snakes in early primates. Past experiments confronted the SDT by measuring how fast primate subjects detected snake pictures among non-dangerous distractors (e.g., flowers), but did not include pictures of primates' other predators, such as carnivorans, raptors, and crocodilians. Here, we examined the det...

Cognitive flexibility in a Tanganyikan bower-building cichlid, Aulonocranus dewindti
Anim Cogn. 2023 Oct 18. doi: 10.1007/s10071-023-01830-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCognitive flexibility, the ability to modify one's decision rules to adapt to a new situation, has been extensively studied in many species. In fish, though, data on cognitive flexibility are scarce, especially in the wild. We studied a lekking species of cichlid fish in Lake Tanganyika, Aulonocranus dewindti. Males create sand bowers as spawning sites and maintain them by removing any objects falling into it. In the first part of our experiment, we investigated the existence of spontaneous decision rules for the maintenance of the bower...

Interspecific differences in developmental mode determine early cognitive abilities in teleost fish
Anim Cogn. 2023 Oct 13. doi: 10.1007/s10071-023-01828-4. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMost studies on developmental variation in cognition have suggested that individuals are born with reduced or absent cognitive abilities, and thereafter, cognitive performance increases with age during early development. However, these studies have been mainly performed in altricial species, such as humans, in which offspring are extremely immature at birth. In this work, we tested the hypothesis that species with other developmental modes might show different patterns of cognitive development. To this end, we analysed inhibitory control...
