The aim of the present study was to replicate previous findings showing cats to be sensitive to human pointing cues (Miklósi et al., 2005). In our study, we presented two types of human pointing gestures-momentary ipsilateral (direct pointing) and momentary cross-body pointing. We tested nine rescue cats in a two-way object-choice task. On a group level, the success rate of cats was 74.4%. Cats performed significantly above chance level in both the ipsilateral and cross-body pointing conditions. Trial number, rewarded side, and type of gesture did not significantly affect the cats' performances in the experiment. On an individual level, five out of seven cats who completed 20 trials performed significantly above chance level. Two cats only completed 10 trials. One of them succeeded in eight and the other in six of these trials. The results of our study replicate previous findings of cats being responsive to human ipsilateral pointing cues and add additional knowledge about their ability to follow cross-body pointing cues. Our results highlight that a domestic species, socialized in a group setting, may possess heterospecific communication skills. Further research is needed to exclude alternative parsimonious explanations, such as local and stimulus enhancements.

Although many studies in animal cognition suggest that they are able to adeptly avoid obstacles, it is unclear whether a new route is learned to navigate around these barriers and, if so, what sensory information may be used to do so. We investigated detour learning in traveling up a tree in the Australian bull ant, Myrmecia midas, which primarily uses visual landmarks. We first placed a barrier on the ants' upward path. Initially, 46% of foragers were unsuccessful in detouring the obstacle. On subsequent trips, the ants became more successful and established a new route. We observed up to eight successful foraging trips detouring around the barrier. We then tested the same foragers in a series of manipulations, including changing the position of the barrier, making a new gap in the middle of the obstacle, or removing the barrier altogether. The ants mostly showed the same learned motor routine, detouring with a similar path as in the initial trials, suggesting that foragers were not relying on barrier cues and therefore learned a new route around the obstacle. When foragers encountered new olfactory or tactile cues, or the visual environment was blocked; however, their navigation was profoundly disrupted. These results suggest that changing sensory information drastically affects the foragers' navigational performance.

This is unexpected since zebra finch males learn the order of syllables in their songs when young and sing the same song throughout adulthood. Here we probe the limits of this species difference by testing birds on an order change involving just two syllables, hereafter called bi-syllable phrases. Results show budgerigars still perform better than zebra finches on an order change involving just two syllables. An analysis of response latencies shows that both species respond to an order change in a bi-syllable motif at the onset of the first syllable rather than listening to the entire sequence before responding. Additional tests with one syllable omitted or doubled, or with white noise bursts substituted for syllables, indicate that the first syllable in the sequence has a dominant effect on subsequent discrimination of changes in a bi-syllable pattern. These results are surprising in that zebra finch males sing their full motif syllable sequence with a high degree of stereotypy throughout life, suggesting that this consistency in production may not rely on perceptual mechanisms for processing syllable order in adulthood. Budgerigars, on the other hand, are quite sensitive to bi-syllable order changes, an ability that may be related to useful information being encoded in the sequence of syllables in their natural song.

The field of comparative psychology has caught up with Charles Turner. In this essay, the author presents an overview of the results of previous studies which suggest that several species of ants use vision effectively to navigate in three dimensions, in daylight, and in darkness. Bull ants, a species that navigates in dim light, have large compound eyes containing receptors that are sensitive to ultraviolet (UV), blue, and green regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Islam et al.'s findings illustrate a very general point about behavior that comparative psychologists do (and should continue to) take seriously, theoretically, and empirically. When we take the time to look closely, the behavior of individuals varies in biologically and psychologically important ways, no matter the size of their bodies or nervous systems. The adaptability of individuals arises from variation within the individual over time, manifest in this study as the adoption of novel routes as circumstances required. The adaptability of populations arises from variation across individuals, evident in this study in ants that learned to travel directly to the edge of the barrier and ants that learned to travel directly to the barrier, then make a right-angle turn to travel along it to an edge. The sources and consequences of behavioral variability, within and across individuals, and its manifestations across species, must remain core concerns for comparative psychology, as they were for Charles Turner more than 100 years ago.

In the first experiment, we assessed the relative ability of the two species to discriminate high, medium, or low spatial frequencies (HSFs, MSFs, or LSFs). Then, in a second experiment, we determined if the use of a procedure designed to induce a bias toward attending given spatial frequencies could produce a top-down or selection-history modulation of global-local visual processing in capuchins and humans. In the first experiment, monkeys discriminated better HSFs. By contrast, humans discriminated better MSFs and LSFs. The second experiment showed an effect of SF processing on global-local processing in both species. However, this effect was confined to local trials only and occurred under different conditions in the two species. In monkeys, it occurred following a bias toward attending HSFs, whereas in humans, it occurred following a bias toward attending LSFs. These results provide new information about the relative sensitivity of humans and capuchins to different spatial frequencies in vision. Moreover, they suggest that global-local visual processing can be modulated in both humans and monkeys by processes that are not confined to attending one or the other level of stimulus structure.

An increasing variety of nonhuman species have demonstrated aspects of this ability, however, suggesting that conceptualization is a widely shared aspect of cognition. The capacity to form a concept of same-different, in particular, has now been shown in pigeons, primates, bottlenose dolphins, sea lions, and more. Traditional methods of studying abstract concept formation include matching-to-sample (MTS), same/different (S/D), and relational-matching-to-sample tasks, tasks that typically require animals to discriminate sets of planar images. Some of these methods may actually test familiarity, memory, associative learning, or other phenomena rather than a concept of same-different. In the current study, we tested same-different concept formation in domestic dogs using a variation on the S/D task that required subjects to discriminate sets of three-dimensional objects. This method avoids some pitfalls of matching-to-sample and S/D tasks that use two-dimensional images and thousands of training trials. Dogs were able to learn to classify sets of objects as \"same\" and \"different\" and proved to be able to immediately transfer this ability to novel sets, including sets of only two objects. Domestic dogs are promising subjects for future studies of same-different conceptualization due to their widespread availability and willingness to work cooperatively with humans.

This is examined using data on the performance of three monkey species (tufted capuchins, black-handed spider monkeys, and long-tailed macaques) on 16 cognitive ability measures. The differences between species pairs across measures are not generally strongly related to the degree to which the g factor loads on each subtest. Iteratively removing the subtests with the lowest coefficients of variance (CV), and recorrelating the species differences with subtest g-loadings was found to increase the association between the two. Across iterations, subtest pooled CV strongly and positively predicts the increase in the degree to which g-loadings are predictive of species difference in two comparisons, but is a weaker predictor in the comparison between tufted capuchins and black-handed spider monkeys. These associations were not related to phylogenetic distance but were very strongly related to species differences in the means of certain ecological factors. g-scores computed for each species on the basis of the three subtests with the highest CV values exhibited very-high magnitude (>.9) associations with species-level G-scores. G is simply the species-level equivalent of g, resulting from covariation among cognitive ability measures at the level of species differences. Finally, as with previous studies, subtests that show the greatest species differences seem to draw on executive functioning, and attention, suggesting that these may be a phylogenetically conserved source of g across many animal taxa.
