Dear all,
In our next BERG/SHAIR meeting this Wednesday 21st May, Dr. Alvaro López Caicoya (Research
Institute for Farm Animal Biology, Dummerstorf) will present his work "Beyond the
Usual Suspects: Cognitive Insights from Ungulates". Alvaro will join us online. We
will broadcast the talk from the Psychology Common Room at 4pm as usual.
Abstract
Recent research at the Barcelona and Leipzig zoos has explored cognitive processes in
ungulates, a group traditionally underrepresented in comparative cognition. Using a range
of experimental paradigms, studies have examined species such as giraffes, bisons, zebras,
and others, focusing on object permanence, memory, quantity discrimination,
problem-solving abilities, and social cognition. In this talk, I’ll give a concise
overview of this work, illustrated with plenty of videos from the different studies.
