Social learning in common ravens, Corvus corax.
We conducted an experiment to investigate whether the presence of a conspecific model can promote the acquisition of a motor task in common ravens. For this purpose, dyads, either of control birds or of model-observer pairings, were allowed to operate together in an arena with a set of identical boxes. Each box consisted of two compartments each containing a reward of three pieces of meat. The ...
متن کاملDo common ravens (Corvus corax) rely on human or conspeciWc gaze cues to detect hidden food?
The ability of non-human animals to use experimenter-given cues in object-choice tasks has recently gained interest. In such experiments, the location of hidden food is indicated by an experimenter, e.g. by gazing, pointing or touching. Whereas dogs apparently outperform all other species so far tested, apes and monkeys have problems in using such cues. Since only mammalian species have been te...
متن کاملAn ‘unkindness’ of ravens? Measuring prosocial preferences in Corvus corax
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2016.11.018 0003-3472/© 2016 Published by Elsevier Ltd on beha In recent years, there has been considerable research effort to determine whether other species exhibit prosocial motivations parallel to those of humans; however, these studies have focused primarily on primates, and with mixed results. We presented captive ravens with a modified prosocial choice...
متن کاملOntogeny of Social Relations and Coalition Formation in Common Ravens (Corvus corax)
The social intelligence hypothesis, originally developed for primates to explain their high intelligence and large relative brain size, assumes that challenges posed by social life in complex societies with many group members lead to the evolution of advanced cognitive abilities. In birds, pair-bonded species have larger brains than non-pair bonded species, indicating that the quality of social...
متن کاملTolerance and reward equity predict cooperation in ravens (Corvus corax)
Cooperative decision rules have so far been shown experimentally mainly in mammal species that have variable and complex social networks. However, these traits should not necessarily be restricted to mammals. Therefore, we tested cooperative problem solving in ravens. We showed that, without training, nine ravens spontaneously cooperated in a loose-string task. Corroborating findings in several...
