Baby Chicks Have Innate Mathematical Skills 184

Posted by kdawson from the not-that-kind-of-chicks dept.
Hugh Pickens writes "Chicks can add and subtract small numbers shortly after hatching, says Rosa Rugani at the University of Trento. Rugani reared chicks with five plastic containers of the kind found inside Kinder chocolate eggs. This meant the chicks bonded with the capsules, much as they do with their mother, making them want to be near the containers as they grew up. In one test, the researchers moved the containers back and forth behind two screens while the chicks watched. When the chicks were released into the enclosure, they headed for the screen obscuring the most containers, suggesting they had been able to keep track of the number of capsules behind each by adding and subtracting them as they moved. It is already known that many non-human primates and monkeys can count, and even domestic dogs have been found to be capable of simple additions but this is the first time the ability has been seen in such young animals, and with no prior training in problem solving of any kind."

      This was my thought (except I doubt they used the actual chocolate containers). The smell of plastic is probably overwhelming in a lab, though, so more likely than not their own smell(s) were all over the containers due to spending so much time around them, and they just followed whichever smell was stronger.

      The way to test for this would be to secretly replace the containers with 'placebo' ones that have no smell, and then see if the pattern repeats. That would control for the possibility of them sniffing

        Or, instead of counting, perhaps the chicks maintained a rough mental estimate of how much "parent stuff" was behind each screen. With only five balls, about 20% of the "stuff" moved each time a ball moved, so it's not clear why counting would be necessary to pick the right screen. The interesting thing about counting is that it's discrete and precise, perhaps even symbolic, instead of a rough estimate of continuous quantity.

            Ok then, the study wasn't flawed.

            They did attempt several methods of 'throwing' the chicks off. It didn't work.

            There was no 'trail' for the chicks to follow.

            They accounted for the "maybe they just 'sensed' where the most eggs are", they covered their bases.

            If you had actually read about the study rather than spouting bullshit based on the summary, you'd have known that.

            In a series of simple maths tests, Rugani's team attached a fishing line to each of the plastic capsules and used it to move them behind two screens that the chick could see from behind a clear plastic door. When all of the containers had been hidden, the chick was set free to investigate.

            Rugani's team found that when the chicks went in search of the capsules, they peered first behind the screen that concealed the larger number of containers.

            In a more difficult test, the researchers moved the containers back and forth behind the two screens while the chicks watched. When they were released into the enclosure, the chicks still made for the screen obscuring the most containers, suggesting they had been able to keep track of the number of capsules behind each by adding and subtracting them as they moved.

            • While I disagree that alternate life-choice for these scientists is hairdressing, there is one potential flaw in this research: the assumption about the meaning of a math problem to chicken.

              This test would be hard for many pre-teen humans. It seems to me that there is a more basic instinct at work then adding and subtracting, at least in the abstracted sense.

If the chicks still chose the group with more individual eggs than one could make a strong case that they are capable of counting.

          But the inverse is not true... if they chose the larger eggs, you could not infer that they were incapable of counting; their preference for the larger eggs could be independent of an accurate perception of which is greater quantity.

          Of course, they could have a preference for the smaller eggs independent of quantity as well, so it wouldn't really rule out or confirm anything one way or the other.

          Birds have notoriously poor senses of smell, and this takes place in a lab where the smell of plastic would probably be overwhelming to that ability anyway.
          Could you read the article, please, instead of automatically assuming the researchers are dumbasses who don't know how to formulate an experiment?

    Whenever I throw something and my dog catches it, he's inherently working out the position of the object and its velocity in order to catch it.

      My dog can do calculus too. Unfortunately he is afflicted with paranoia so he just lets it hit the floor and gives it good looking over before he decides to put it in his mouth. Then he catches it the second time. LOL.

      My previous one was a wolf-hybrid and she could tell if it was something she wanted to put in her mouth while the object was in flight - even with something the size of half a pea and moving fast she would always make the correct choice, 100% percent of the time. That always amazed me. That

      Your dog can do calculus when you set up a ball-throwing machine, and, from the angle of the chute and previous experience with velocity of objects, the dog goes to the correct location to catch the ball before its thrown (even though you're on a new field she's never seen before).

  • try the same test after they grown blonde hair
  • Its likely that many animals, particularly those of the prey kind, can estimate relative quantities. More instances of the 'friend' type means greater security. More of the 'foe' increases the odds of being eaten.
  • Birds have a genetically specified latent memory for flight [sciencedaily.com] so maybe these baby chicks have a latent memory for counting too.

  • So maybe MS will soon be able to dispense with that troublesome outsourcing and hire true American programmers for chickenfeed.
