Recent research shows that New Caledonian crows can incorporate information from researcher-made objects into objects they subsequently manufacture. This 'mental template matching' is one of several possible - mutually compatible - mechanisms for the cultural transmission of tool designs among wild crows.
最近的研究表明，新喀里多尼亚乌鸦可以将研究人员制造的物体的信息融入到它们随后制造的物体中。这种“心理模板匹配”是野生乌鸦之间工具设计文化传播的几种可能的——相互兼容的——机制之一。
