The crowd sometimes have a bad rap: they say they are loud and evil, and the myths around the birds tend to link death or misfortune. But the crow is worth more of love and charity, he says Andreas NiederNeurophysiologist at the University of Germany in Tübing. Very nice, as well as being cornies and social They are very intelligent-Experekially in terms of geometry, as Nieder found.
On a paper posted on Friday Science advances, Nieder and his colleagues accuse the crow Show impressive ability to separate shapes Geometric irregularities using cue cue. These bellas could also be detected in a relatively subtle difference. For the experiment, as a video game, crowded in front of a digital screen like a video game. First, the crow was taught in a certain way to make a reward. Then, they presented the same form among the other five, such as a star shape placed among five lunar shapes, and were rewarded if they selected the “external” properly.
“Initially (outlier) was very noticeable,” Nieder said. However, the crowd “game” worked, Nieder and his team worked, they introduced similar more similar gangs, to see if the children would be able to identify external crows. “And for example, for example, if a square was not seen a figure, it was slightly bent, among all other squares,” Nieder said. “They could actually make spontaneous (and) non-discriminatory forms based on geometric differences, if necessary to train more than us.” Even when researchers were left to reward with treatments, the crow continued to do the playoffs.

Counting geometric features based on forms, such as side lengths or interior angles, is more difficult than sounds. Giorgio ValortigaNeuroscience of the Italian University of Trento. Vallortigara, who did not participate in the new study, explains that almost all animals know the differences in the length or field of surfaces in part. But even more cognitive sophistication is needed to identify, such as squares and triangles with different sizes of different angles or different angles with different angles on two-dimensional surfaces.
“The general view of scientists was in the proper knowledge of geometric and euclidean knowledge … Applied to objects … probably limited to humans,” says Valortigar. Nieder’s work “This approach is challenging, because crows show a kind of intuitive declaration of geometric properties.”
But why are crowded well in geometry? The reason is that evolutionary, scientists say. “I suspect the origins and guides to develop these skills, especially with space orientation, says Valortigar. “It could be, according to habits or other things in the field (crowd) needed to develop other species (than).”
On the other hand, geometric intelligence is a key section to know the faces, such as the position of the eyes and the mouth because we use individuals to distinguish individuals. If this is the case, the crowd may use their geometric intelligence for a partner’s selection or individual recognition, Valortigar says.
Of course, such benefits can be easily applied to other animals, and Nieder and Valortigara will not be surprised that other birds or any other animal, which is why they were able to make similar feats. “All these capabilities, at the end of the day, from a biological point of view, evolved because they give advantage or reproductive advantage,” Nieders said.
These skills have also been able to evolve in different ways. For example, our Cerebral Cortex, “The brain site integrates all kinds of information and becomes smart and smart conscious“It has not been much developed by any independent neuron adaptation,” these animals are incredibly intelligent, and of course evolutionary behavior has found two ways to give animals. “
Nieder expects to reveal future research, parts of the brains responsible for this geometric intelligence. “It is very important that we can work with animals and can also explore these animals. We learn a lot about their brains, as well as our brain skills that we also share with them.”
