    Dr.

    Irene Pepperberg, listed Alex's accomplishments in 1999:

    • could identify fifty different objects and recognize quantities up to six;

    • could distinguish seven colors and five shapes, and understand the concepts of "bigger", "smaller",
    "same", and "different," and • was learning "over" and "under;‖

    • had a vocabulary of about 150 words, but was exceptional in that he appeared to have
    understanding of what he said. For example, when Alex was shown an object and was asked about
    its shape, color, or material, he could label it correctly. If asked the difference between two objects,
    he also answered that, but if there was no difference between the objects, he said ―none.‖
