we studied 🐢 for pitch-luminance associations, while searching for 🍓.
After |||high🔉 OR _low🔉 ,🐢 could choose to search for 🍓behind a ⚪️ OR ⚫️ wall.
After II|high🔉--->they choose to search for 🍓 behind ⚪️
After __🔉---> they choose to search for 🍓 behind ⚫️

Check the new paper by our @matilda_gibbons , where we show the rubbing/protective behaviour in bumblebees.
Our new paper on a potentially pain-linked behaviour in insects is out! Bees seemingly ‘rub it better’ like we do: (1/7)

Check our new work on the foundations of learning and generalisation, just our in @CellCellPress . 🐣 reveal a recipe important for both #biological_intelligence and #artifcial_intelligence : look at the masters of fast learning 🐥🐥 : predispositions enhance learning
Why do animals start life with priors/predispositions?
We showed that priors enhance learning and generalisation: check our new, colourful work cell.com/iscience/fulltext/S… by
