Cerebral and behavioural assymetries in animal social recognition
- O. Salva, L. Regolin, E. Mascalzoni, G. Vallortigara
- Psychology
- 2012
Evidence is here summarized that animal species belonging to distant taxa show forms of social recognition, a sophisticated cognitive ability adaptive in most social interactions. The paper then… Expand

Perception of mechanical (i.e. physical) causality, in terms of a cause-effect relationship between two motion events, appears to be a powerful mechanism in our daily experience. In spite of a… Expand
Symmetry perception by poultry chicks and its implications for three-dimensional object recognition

- Psychology, Medicine
- Animal Cognition
- 1 March 2009
The ability to recognize three-dimensional objects from two-dimensional (2-D) displays was investigated in domestic chicks, focusing on the role of the object’s motion. In Experiment 1 newly hatched… Expand
