Rats can be smarter than people
采访了鲁汶大学研究者Ben Vermaercke,其团队实验发现老鼠在模式识别任务中表现优于人类,探讨了原因及对人类认知研究的启示。
The article presents an interview with Ben Vermaercke of about research he and colleagues at KU Leuven conducted that showed rats performed better than humans in an experiment involving pattern recognition. Topics discussed include reasons for the rats' superior performance, the visual complexity of rats, the importance to humans of learning about rats' capabilities, other animals including male songbirds and zebra fish used in brain research, and a strategy humans might use to outperform rats in Vermaercke's experiment
