Elephant psychology: What we know and what we would like to know is a short paper by Naoko Irie and Toshikazu Hasegawa published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology.
Key points
- The cognitive abilities of elephants: It shows that elephants have various skills such as tool use, self-recognition, causal reasoning, vocal imitation, memory, and numerical cognition, which are comparable or superior to other animals.
- The challenges and importance of studying elephant cognition: It explains that elephants are difficult to study because of their large size, long lifespan, and endangered status, but also that studying them is crucial for understanding their intelligence and welfare.
- The ecological and anatomical factors that influence elephant cognition: It suggests that elephants’ social structure, large brain, and prehensile trunk may contribute to their cognitive development and performance.
