Scientists say natural chicken can add and subtrac

Italian scientists have found, Xinhua
, chicken born with computing power, can do addition and subtraction within 5. From this point of view,five toe shoes, they may be more than human babies the same age
study published in the latest issue of British The researchers selected 17 was born just 3 to 4 days in the White Leghorn chicken, so that they and five yellow toy ball with exactly the same life. Chick getting these 5 goals as a The ball is taken away, they will issue a cry of pain. When the ball back to the cage, they cried softly.
experimental first step is opaque in the chicken in front of two small vertical screen, and then put the ball at the same time or one by one, the two were moved behind the screen. After the release of the chicken from the box, the ball immediately to check the screen and more.
then repeat the first step in the first experiment, so the chicken after seeing the ball disappear in the screen, and then letting them see the ball one by one moved from one screen to another screen after the post. Thus, in order to determine which side of the ball more, have to be plus or minus ability. Result, the chicken has the most immediate possession of the ball can be selected the screen, and then put his head out the back,
the first time, the experiment revealed that juvenile animals, a simple subtraction skills. In addition to humans, other animals, including primates and dogs are simple computing capacity. However, previous studies have shown that human infants seem to only be 3 of the following addition and subtraction. It seems that the chicken may be superior in terms of computing power.
researchers believe that the chicken 8-10 chicken litter generally, they may be able to calculate the chicken guess the addition and subtraction within 10, but they did not
