Abstract

Cephalopods have captivated the minds of scientists for thousands of years, dating back to approximately 330 BC when Aristotle became fascinated by their ability to rapidly change colour. This remarkable ability, however, is not the only aspect of cephalopod behaviour that has garnered attention from the scientific community. The soft-bodied cephalopods (henceforth cephalopods), namely octopus, cuttlefish, and squid, are widely considered to be the most cognitively advanced group of invertebrates. They possess highly developed perceptual, memory, and spatial learning abilities and are also capable of intriguing feats of behaviour that appear to indicate complex cognition.

摘要

头足类动物已经吸引了科学家数千年的注意力，可以追溯到公元前 330 年左右，当时亚里士多德对它们迅速变色的能力感到着迷。然而，这种非凡的能力并不是头足类动物行为唯一引起科学界关注的方面。这些软体头足类动物（以下简称头足类），即章鱼、乌贼和鱿鱼，被广泛认为是最具认知能力的无脊椎动物群体。它们具有高度发达的感知、记忆和空间学习能力，并且还能够表现出复杂认知的有趣行为。
