In this paper, I will review the Model/Rival (M/R) technique that has been used to establish interspecies communication with Grey parrots (). I will describe the original format developed by Todt, the relationship to other forms of observational learning outlined by other researchers, and the adaptations that I devised. I will describe how my undergraduate trainers and I isolated the various components that constitute the technique and explain how each is necessary, but how only the combination of components is sufficient for successful implementation-and how improper implementation can lead to failure. I will briefly summarize the results of proper implementation-including the importance of interspecies communication itself as a technique for studying animal cognition.
在本文中，我将回顾用于与非洲灰鹦鹉建立跨物种交流的模型/对手（M/R）技术。我将描述托特开发的原始形式、与其他研究人员概述的其他观察性学习形式的关系，以及我设计的改编形式。我将描述我和我的本科培训师如何分离构成该技术的各个组成部分，并解释每个部分为何是必要的，以及为何只有各部分的组合才足以成功实施——以及不当实施如何导致失败。我将简要总结正确实施的结果——包括跨物种交流本身作为研究动物认知的一种技术的重要性。
