Understanding Parrot Intelligence
Memory for Own Actions:
Studies have shown that parrots can recall their past actions, indicative of episodic-like memory, which suggests a level of self-awareness and mental time travel.
Episodic-like Memory:
The ability to represent one's own past actions is linked to the concept of episodic memory in humans, considered one of the essential elements for self-awareness.
Comparative Cognition:
Parrots' cognitive abilities are being explored in comparison with other animals, revealing the diverse evolutionary paths of intelligence across species.
