Animal Cognition: Counting, Spatial Representation, and Tool Use

Counting and Numerosity

Brannon & Terrace (1998): About Counting

  • Numerosity is often confounded with other properties like size and surface area.
  • Duration (auditory counting) is also a factor.

Methods

  • Training: Touch screen; choose exemplars in ascending order of numerosity.
  • 35 sets that differ in size and shape of elements.
  • Category types: nominal vs. ordinal.
  • If forming nominal representations, they are learning representations of an arbitrary feature, not ordinal representations.
  • Learning a general

Understanding Perception: Illusions, Constancies, and Reality

Closure in Perception

Closure is the tendency to perceive incomplete figures as complete. We “close” or fill in the missing parts to see a whole.

Continuity in Perception

We tend to group or separate stimuli to maintain a harmonious continuity.

Perceptual Constancies

Although objects constantly change in position, distance, and color, we perceive them as stable and unchanging.

Form Constancy

The tendency to perceive that objects have the same shape despite changes in their position.

Size Constancy

When viewing

Design of Experiments: Key Concepts and Designs

Design of Experiments: Key Concepts

Design of Experiments (DOE) is the rational planning of experiments to obtain the maximum amount of information with the minimum number of trials. Its function is to analyze results and obtain evidence to test previously established hypotheses.

DOE is directly related to the problem statement and the hypothesis. The design aims to collect data from reality to solve the problem, and the hypothesis guides the type of experimentation needed to obtain, analyze, and
