Cognitive ethology, a relatively new interdisciplinary and integrative science, is under attack with respect to its scientific status. However, there also are strong supporters of research in this area. In this paper I consider My study of vigilance indicates that the way in which individuals are positioned with respect to one another influences their behavior, and that when a flock contains four or more birds there are large changes in scanning and other patterns of behavior that may be related to how grosbeaks attempt to gather information about other flock members. When birds are arranged in a circular array so that they can see one another easily compared to when they are arranged in a line that makes visual monitoring of flock members more difficult, birds who have difficulty seeing one another are These differences in behavior argue against the pooling of data collected on individuals feeding in different geometric arrays. The variations in behavior also may say something about if and how individuals attempt visually to represent their group to themselves-how they form, store, and use records of the behavior of others to inform their own future behavior.
认知行为学是一门相对较新的跨学科综合科学，目前其科学地位正受到质疑。然而，该领域也有坚定的支持者。在本文中，我认为我对警觉性的研究表明，个体之间的位置关系会影响它们的行为，并且当一群中有四只或更多只鸟时，扫描和其他行为模式会发生很大变化，这可能与大嘴雀试图收集其他群体成员信息的方式有关。与排成一列使得对群体成员的视觉监测更加困难相比，当鸟以圆形排列以便它们能轻松看到彼此时，彼此难以看到的鸟会……这些行为差异表明反对将在不同几何排列中进食的个体所收集的数据合并。行为的变化也可能说明个体是否以及如何试图在视觉上向自己呈现它们的群体——它们如何形成、存储和使用其他个体行为的记录来指导自己未来的行为。
