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. link for the talk https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/ap/t-59584e83/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fteams.microsoft.com%2Fl%2Fmeetup-join%2F19%253ameeting_NTliODBlNDQtMzM1MC00OTczLWE2MTMtMmE2NmMzNmY2OGM5%2540thread.v2%2F0%3Fcontext%3D%257b%2522Tid%2522%253a%25224e8d09f7-cc79-4ccb-9149-a4238dd17422%2522%252c%2522Oid%2522%253a%2522ef6e3d43-6071-4600-ac5e-cac083c36eff%2522%257d&data=05%7C02%7Calejandro.sanchezamaro%40stir.ac.uk%7Cdf0866416acc4c6fa5f808dd862a8efb%7C4e8d09f7cc794ccb9149a4238dd17422%7C0%7C0%7C638814239556651039%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=nGc%2FIzMZ%2BSorPWWzzTZHyRMeGGdD9b4YMRnJSEe14us%3D&reserved=0<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_NTliODBlNDQtMzM1MC00OTczLWE2MTMtMmE2NmMzNmY2OGM5%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%224e8d09f7-cc79-4ccb-9149-a4238dd17422%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%22ef6e3d43-6071-4600-ac5e-cac083c36eff%22%7d> hope to see you all best, Alex ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dr. Alejandro Sanchez-Amaro Lecturer in Psychology Cottrell Building Room 3B144c, Department of Psychology, Faculty of Natural Sciences University of Stirling @ Colleagues and Students: Please let me know of any EDI (Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion) -related issues that you would like me to bring to the attention of our Division's EDI Committee. ________________________________ Scotland’s University for Sporting Excellence The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159
