Nonhuman tool use is no longer questioned; the issues now are whether such use is mostly inflexible and innately specified or involves experience, innovation, adaptation, and cognitive planning, and how many species qualify. Habl and Auersperg (PLoS One, 12(11):e0186859, 2017) have shown that some Goffin's cockatoos (Cacatua goffiniana) respond in novel ways to a tool-use task that nonhuman primates and young children find somewhat challenging.
非人类使用工具已不再受到质疑;现在的问题是,这种使用大多是僵化且由先天决定的,还是涉及经验、创新、适应和认知规划,以及有多少物种符合条件。哈布尔和奥尔施佩格(《公共科学图书馆·综合》,12(11):e0186859,2017年)表明,一些戈氏凤头鹦鹉(戈氏凤头鹦鹉)对一种工具使用任务会以新颖的方式做出反应,而这种任务对非人类灵长类动物和幼儿来说颇具挑战性。
