Having a pet many times noticed their interest in what happens on the screen tablets, TVs, computers. Surely many cats running around near the TV screen and tried to catch moving objects on the screen. So scientists have not paid attention to this issue and conducted a scientific study whose results are very unexpected. It turns out the animals love to play, and some of them-just avid gamers.
, reports BBC Future.
Red-footed tortoise Esme, Molly Quinn and Emily avid gamers. They are contained in the Department of Cognitive Biology, University of Vienna. Their favorite pastime game on the plates, as well as turtles like corn, strawberries, mushrooms. The most interesting thing is that the turtle can not just play on the tablet, but also able to pass the test for spatial perception. With tablets may visually examine the thinking of reptiles.
Biologist Julia Mueller Paula could teach reptiles tested for spatial perception – the turtle had to touch his nose blue circle on the right side, and half the time on the left side is a blue circle and turtles coped with this task.
American scientists have decided to teach chimpanzees to communicate using the tablet. The experiment involved the pygmy chimpanzee named Kanzi, who lives in Iowa in the Fund apes in Des Moines. Chimpanzee could learn to communicate with scientists using the touch screen. For this purpose, 400 leksig rammam – images representing words.
To study thinking bears are also used touch technologies. In the journal Animal Behaviour, in 2012, was published psychologist Jennifer Vonk in which she writes that the numerical thinking is one of the most studied areas of cognitive science, and Vonk with scientist Michael Beran believe that the ability to score in animals develops not only thanks to social vzaimodeystviyam- believe when the number of members in the group. Scientists conducted an experiment involving large predators Himalayan bears, participated in the experiment Himalayan bears Brutus, Dusty and Bella, who live in the city zoo Wilmer, Alabama. Bears during the experiment concerned the nose necessary parts of the screen and receive a reward treats. All bears were successful tests and proven ability to account does not depend on the social activity of the animal.
Zoos using tablets also provide comfort to animals – with pooschyu tablets and solving a puzzle and toys support thinking primates in tone, because the zoo they comfortable life and not have to think about the production of food, shelter from predators on other domestic issues that they decide on the outside.
In 2012, Helen Bustrom while working on his thesis handed plates 10 chimpanzees and orangutans in 6 Houston Zoo.
Monkeys like new toys, but they caused a particular interest in young animals, they used the largest number of applications.
But females were the most active, and they no longer liked the iPad. The adults had their preferences among the programs. Females are much better able to cope with the tablets. But this is not surprising. After all, in real life they are much smarter than males can successfully use hand tools for getting termites.
Scientists have been able to establish that with the help of the configured a certain way the tablet can vary the life of monkeys in a zoo.
Just using iPad penguins entertained in California in Long Beach aquarium. The most favorite toy penguin became Game for Cats. They followed the virtual mouse and caught her beak. Penguin Newsom especially liked how peeps tablet if it caught the mouse. And the record set by Penguin 1600 points.
All animals games primarily interested in the younger generation. Young and growing brain is much better to accept new challenges and they are very interested in bright colors and sounds reproducible devices.
These are different hobbies are animals. Cats sleep a lot on the laptop and watch movies with pleasure and seems to understand the story.
