文摘

Psittacine cognition research originally focused on ‘proof of capacity’. The number of psittacine species and individuals tested is expanding. Intraspecific variation is common in psittacine cognition research. Non cognitive factors such as personality may play a role in variation and should be controlled for in study design. Cognitive normal ranges need to be established for each species and assay.
