Researchers often argue for the existence of "captivity bias": a higher success rate that may be observed for nonhumans tested in captivity compared to those tested in nature, purportedly because the former have certain advantages that the latter lack. Rössler et al. (Scientific Reports 10, 8681, 2020) find that, at least for Goffin's cockatoos (Cacatua goffiniana), differences exist in motivation, not in problem-solving ability.
研究人员经常争论“圈养偏倚”的存在:在圈养中测试的非人类动物比在自然中测试的动物可能具有更高的成功率,据称这是因为前者具有后者所缺乏的某些优势。Rössler 等人(Scientific Reports 10, 8681, 2020)发现,至少对于戈芬氏凤头鹦鹉(Cacatua goffiniana)而言,差异存在于动机,而不是解决问题的能力。
