Comparative Cognition and Behavior Reviews

All birds studied to date have a functioning sense of smell, which they use for a wide range of tasks, from foraging to mate choice.However, compared with other avian senses, olfaction has received comparatively little research attention and is often overlooked when designing experiments, or interpreting data, in which birds have been used as subjects.This brief review aims to provide an overview of our understanding of avian olfaction, focusing in particular on articles published over the past 10 years.We emphasize studies, species, and concepts that may be of particular interest to those working within animal behavior or cognition, and we conclude by highlighting some directions for future research.

Avian olfaction: a review of the recent literature

鸟类嗅觉：近期文献综述

The many cue types that animals are able to use for both long-and short-scale navigation have been studied extensively, and a well-researched literature has developed into the strategies that have evolved to exploit information provided by these different cues.Less well understood are questions of how animals select different cues to learn about, and the conditions for learning based on these cues.These queries have tended to concern psychologists interested in the extent to which the principles of associative learning apply to spatial learning.The question is of interest because the predictions of associative learning theories are often at odds with spatial learning theories, which instead tend to emphasize the special types of representation and learning process necessary for navigation.Here I examine spatial learning from an associative perspective, starting with the question of what kinds of associations are formed in associative learning and how these may fit within our knowledge of spatial learning.I then examine the conditions of learning, including the effects of prior experience on spatial learning in terms of both latent inhibition and perceptual learning, changes to the attention paid to spatial stimuli as a result of their predictive history, and the extent to which redundancy -when multiple cues predict same outcome -affects learning.The effects are illustrated mostly with examples from the associative learning literature, which is often with rodents or pigeons.But where possible, I have demonstrated similar effects in more diverse species and have tried to indicate the general learning effects that associative learning theories predict.

Given the range of tasks that requires dogs and humans to work effectively together, it is important for us to appreciate the similarities and differences in hearing ability across the two species, as well as the limits of our knowledge of this comparative information.Humans often assume that dogs' hearing abilities are similar to their own and try to communicate with them verbally as they do with other humans.In the first part of this review, we compare the auditory system of the two species in relation to their ability to function generally as a sound amplification and detection system before considering the specific capacities of the system in the second part.We then examine the factors that disturb hearing function before reviewing a range of potentially problematic behavioral responses that are closely associated with the functioning of the auditory system.Finally, we consider important aspects of comparative auditory perception and related cognitive processes.A major observation of this review is how little research has been done in investigating the auditory capabilities of the dog.There may be significant mismatches between what we expect dogs (and perhaps specific types of dog, given historic functional breed selection) can hear versus what they can actually hear.This has significant implications for what should be considered if we wish to select specific dogs for work associated with particular hearing abilities and to protect and maintain their hearing throughout life.Only with a more complete understanding of the dogs' hearing ability compared with our own can we more fully appreciate perceptual and associated cognitive differences between the species alongside behavioral differences that might occur when we are exposed to a given soundscape.

The Critical Human Elements in Using Artificial Intelligence in Comparative Cognition Studies

比较认知研究中使用人工智能的关键人类因素

The field of comparative cognition is in a good position to support conservation efforts in a quickly changing world.Given that cognition is central to real-time adaptation, we have a responsibility to advocate for the often-overlooked relevance of our expertise in helping animals cope.To contribute we recommend (a) increasing our own understanding of the ecological validity of our work, (b) translating the value and relevance of our work for others, and (c) making ourselves available to conservation managers.

The Future of Comparative Cognition? Conservation!

比较认知的未来？保护！

Computational modeling should and will play an increasingly important role in the future of comparative cognition.Computational comparative cognition is a burgeoning field, poised to tackle perennial questions about animal behavior as well as to take the opportunity to ask new ones.To establish computational comparative cognition as a field, researchers must work together to create interdisciplinary collaborations, to translate and disseminate findings that can be digested by a diverse audience, and to rethink the status of computational modeling.Blending models, experiment, and observation to deepen our understanding of animal behavior promises a bright future for the field of comparative cognition.

The Future Is Computational Comparative Cognition

未来是计算比较认知

This article examines interrelated issues of the subject and object of comparative cognition.First, we discuss field's focus on a limited selection of subjects; rodents and primates are common, whereas taxa outside of mammals and birds are rare.We suggest new directions for a more comparative approach.Second, we discuss an epistemological view of cognition that helps discern behavioral observations from cognitive inferences and promotes a clearer, less anthropocentric approach vital for studying underrepresented taxa and enhancing species diversity.

Reconsidering the Subject and Object of Comparative Cognition

重新思考比较认知的主体与客体

Finding support for the field of comparative cognition in an environment with a strong anthropocentric bent can be an uphill battle.Support may be strengthened via dissemination of findings outside typical academic channels, as they may demonstrate widely the relevance of our contributions.Outreach may also foster new or more impactful contributions, from improvements in animal welfare to the promotion of positive societal changes.
