Abstract

A fundamental problem in the evolution of cognition is the search for complex memory systems given the longstanding belief that complex cognition is unique to humans. Along these lines, new research suggests that bottlenose dolphins can answer unexpected questions after encoding information that was seemingly unimportant when it was encountered.

摘要

认知进化中的一个基本问题是，在长期以来认为复杂认知是人类独有的观点下，寻找复杂的记忆系统。沿着这条思路，新的研究表明，宽吻海豚在对看似不重要的信息进行编码后，可以回答意想不到的问题。
