Modifications to the Aesop's Fable Paradigm Change New Caledonian Crow Performances (Extract)
While previous work has suggested that New Caledonian crows[13], like Eurasian jays[18], and children under 7 years of age[16], cannot solve the U-tube task, here one crow, Kitty, was able to do so by learning the connection between the arbitrary color cue and the movement of the food.
AWL: previous!
AWL: task!
AWL: arbitrary!
