EXTREME PERCEPTION AND ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE
In the article Extreme perception and animal intelligence, authors Grandin and
Johnson describe how some animals can show high intelligence in different
situations. Therefore, there are two main examples that will help you
understand it better.
First of all, the authors believe that true cognition is the ability to solve problems
under new conditions. Dogs that can predict a seizure before it starts are a
good example of an animal using extreme perception to solve a problem in
a unique way because they can figure out when someone is going to have a
seizure; meaning that they can read signs given off by humans. A further
example relating to these dogs is Stanley's dogs, which case was published by
The New York Times. There it says that their two seizure response dogs had
turned into seizure-alert dogs. Although, those dogs were apparently trained to
respond to seizures, not predict them,
As a final example, we have Clever Hans, a horse whose owner thought he
could count, as he apparently responded through his behavior. In reality, no one
can train a horse to do what he did; that is something he acquired
unconsciously. Although Hans couldn't count; he was really intelligent because
he was able to train himself to appear like he was counting and was able to
detect and somehow understand human signs that even humans could not see,
just as seizure-alert dogs can.
To conclude, the authors believe that seizure-alert dogs and Hans are showing
high intelligence because they can recognize signs and then act on them. Also,
that intelligence is based on the use of one's built-in perceptual and cognitive
abilities to achieve any goal.
