Abstract
Making a plan
Until recently, planning for the future has generally been considered to be
unique to humans. Studies in the past 10 years have suggested that apes and
scrub jays are also able to make such plans. However, these
studies—especially those in the birds—have been questioned. It has
been argued that planning in foraging and natural tasks is not the same as
planning in a more general way. Kabadayi
et al.
tested ravens
with tasks designed to specifically assess their general planning abilities (see
the Perspective by Boeckle and Clayton). Confirming their forward-planning
abilities, the birds performed at least as well as apes and small children in
this complex cognitive task.
