Social transmission of tool use and tool manufacture in Goffin cockatoos (Cacatua goffini)
Tool use can be inherited, or acquired as an individual innovation or by social transmission. Having previously reported individual innovative tool use and manufacture by a Goffin cockatoo, we used the innovator (Figaro, a male) as a demonstrator to investigate social transmission. Twelve Goffins saw either demonstrations by Figaro, or 'ghost' controls where tools and/or food were manipulated u...
متن کاملCan hook-bending be let off the hook? Bending/unbending of pliant tools by cockatoos
The spontaneous crafting of hook-tools from bendable material to lift a basket out of a vertical tube in corvids has widely been used as one of the prime examples of animal tool innovation. However, it was recently suggested that the animals' solution was hardly innovative but strongly influenced by predispositions from habitual tool use and nest building. We tested Goffin's cockatoo, which is ...
متن کاملGoffin's cockatoos make the same tool type from different materials
Innovative tool manufacture is rare and hard to isolate in animals. We show that an Indonesian generalist parrot, the Goffin's cockatoo, can flexibly and spontaneously transfer the manufacture of stick-type tools across three different materials. Each material required different manipulation patterns, including substrates that required active sculpting for achieving a functional, elongated shape.
متن کاملThe keybox: Shape-frame fitting during tool use in Goffin’s cockatoos (Cacatua goffiniana)
The ability to move an object in alignment to a surface develops early in human ontogeny. However, aligning not just your own body but also the object itself in relation to a surface with a specific shape requires using landmarks rather than the own body as a frame of reference for orientation. The ability to do so is considered important in the development of tool use behaviour in human and no...
متن کاملUses of a Grammar-Driven Case-Acquisition Tool
This paper introduces a stand-alone case/knowledge acquisition tool, called COCKATOO (Constraint-Capable Knowledge Acquisition Tool), which uses an Extended BNF grammar to represent the main characteristics of the (domain) cases. Further, we also took the opportunity to build a tool that is both more flexible and powerful by augmenting the context-free grammars with the expressiveness of constr...
