Evidence That Octopus Is Colour Blind
1. Six octopuses were trained on a series of visual discrimination tasks where the discriminanda were presented simultaneously, and where different tasks alternated in a single training session. 2. All the octopuses could make discriminations based on brightness and orientation over the same period of time. 3. Over a period in which all octopuses discriminated a black from a white vertical rect...
متن کاملPull or Push? Octopuses Solve a Puzzle Problem
Octopuses have large brains and exhibit complex behaviors, but relatively little is known about their cognitive abilities. Here we present data from a five-level learning and problem-solving experiment. Seven octopuses (Octopus vulgaris) were first trained to open an L shaped container to retrieve food (level 0). After learning the initial task all animals followed the same experimental protoco...

متن کاملOctopus vulgaris Uses Visual Information to Determine the Location of Its Arm
Octopuses are intelligent, soft-bodied animals with keen senses that perform reliably in a variety of visual and tactile learning tasks. However, researchers have found them disappointing in that they consistently fail in operant tasks that require them to combine central nervous system reward information with visual and peripheral knowledge of the location of their arms. Wells claimed that in ...
متن کاملOctopuses (Enteroctopus dofleini) recognize individual humans.
This study exposed 8 Enteroctopus dofleini separately to 2 unfamiliar individual humans over a 2-week period under differing circumstances. One person consistently fed the octopuses and the other touched them with a bristly stick. Each human recorded octopus body patterns, behaviors, and respiration rates directly after each treatment. At the end of 2 weeks, a body pattern (a dark Eyebar) and 2...
