520: Social and physical cognition in Jays
The overall aim is to study social and physical cognition by jays that hide food caches for future consumption and steal (pilfer) those made by other jays. The specific objectives are to test whether jays (a) can plan for the future, (b) are capable of mental attribution (understand what others know), and (c) to evaluate the development of food- caching behaviour and the extent to which this behaviour is controlled by memory and planning.
