Animal Intelligence

Animal intelligence Intelligence is defined as the ability to acquire and apply knowledge. Psychologists are using this concept in various ways to determine whether animals other than humans have intelligence. From social learning, it is reasonable to think that animals other than humans can acquire and use new behaviors and must be somewhat intellectual. According to Hayes, there are six kinds of behavior that show intelligence. These are imitation, self-recognition, formation of social relations, role play, fraud and adoption of opinion.

Again, there is no wizard of wisdom. Intelligence is not one dimensional. It is a complex of many types and cognitive patterns, each of which is a continuum. Let's measure a very simple task of animal intelligence. If intelligence is one-dimensional, you should be able to arrange the intelligence of parrots, dolphins, horses, squirrels, octopus, blue whale, cats, gorillas in correct ascending order. We currently do not have scientific evidence of such lines. One reason may be that there is no difference between animal intelligence, but we have never seen it. Zoology is full of important differences in how animals are thought. However, all of them may have the same relative "general information", but that may be there, but we have neither measurements nor a single information indicator. Instead, we have many different indicators for many different types of recognition.

But when we talk about animals' intelligence, we talk in a completely different way. Animal intelligence research has a long history. Since the publication of the origin of the species of Darwin, scientists have been trying to understand what animals think and compare them and compare them with human thoughts. What does this actually mean? Animals change their habits and behavior through learning and have the ability to adapt to the surrounding environment. Many species can also form social groups. All these features are based on the ability of an animal to process information and by assessing this ability you can judge the relative intelligence of different species.

The phrase "animal wisdom" should be taken to mean whether it makes sense to call an animal "smart", or whether an animal's behavior should be regarded as a series of unthinkable mechanical reactions to stimuli arising from within the animal I will introduce some debate. In the external environment, only humans can flexibly think and respond. This argument is now basically out of date. On the one hand, it has been replaced by a more empirical discussion of the success of research programs on animal cognition (assuming animals have cognitive processes similar to humans). On the other hand, it was eliminated by one of the more modern methods of human intelligence. Still, this problem will never completely disappear. The reason why it lasts is philosophy and morality, and (perhaps more) science. If so, what makes a pure white food unethical?
