This is a synthesis of her studies. 330 $bCan a parrot understand complex concepts and mean what is says? Since the early s, most studies on animal-human communication have focused on great apes and a few cetacean species. Birds were rarely used in similar studies on the grounds that they were merely talented mimics -that they were, after all, "birdbrains". Experiments performed primarily on pigeons in Skinner boxes demonstrated capacities inferior to those of mammals; these results were thought to reflect the capacities of all birds, despite evidence suggesting that species such a s jays, crows, and parrots might be capable of more impressive cognitive feats.;Twenty years ago Irene Pepperberg set out to discover whether the results of the pigeon studies necessarily meant that other birds -particularly the large-brained, highly social parrots - were incapable of mastering complex cognitive concepts and the rudiments of referential speech. her investigation and the bird at its centre - a male Grey parrot named Alex - have since become almost as well known as their primate equivalents and no less a subject of fierce debate in the field of animal cognition. 606 $aAfrican gray parrot$xBehavior 606 $aCognition in animals 606 $aAnimal communication 615 0$aAfrican gray parrot$xBehavior. 615 0$aCognition in animals. 615 0$aAnimal communication. 676 $a598.71 686 $aWT 2030$2rvk 700 $aPepperberg$b Irene M$g(Irene Maxine)$01474258 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778195503321 996 $aThe Alex studies$93687827 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01760nam 2200577 450 001 9910791455903321 005 20230125221559.0 010 $a2-7605-2395-0 035 $a(CKB)2560000000049295 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000684463 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11399403 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000684463 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10712447 035 $a(PQKB)11750051 035 $a(CaBNvSL)slc00224697 035 $a(CaPaEBR)434026 035 $a(OCoLC)835774467 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse21123 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4796122 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11342199 035 $a(OCoLC)968735382 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4796122 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3269067 035 $a(PPN)187269378 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000049295 100 $a20170221h20092009 uy 0 101 0 $afre 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aA.C.R.
