Animal Magic: Why Intelligence Isn’t Just for Humans

in animal •  2 years ago 

How can you recognise an upbeat pig? This isn't a set-up for a punchline; the inquiry is genuine, and the response contains a wealth of information about our attitudes toward other minds—that is, to brains that aren't human—in general. Because we hardly know how to think about other minds other than in connection to our own, the idea of an optimistic (or, for that matter, pessimistic) pig may seem rather absurd.

Here's how to recognise an upbeat pig: teach it to connect a certain sound, such a note played on a glockenspiel, with a treat, like an apple. An apple falls through a hatch when the note is played, allowing the pig to consume it. however, another sound.
