This chapter focuses on the question of causal reasoning in animals, which has mainly been investigated in tool-using and large-brained species. Our survey reveals that numerous animal species appear to be sensitive to violations of causality and may even be tuned to attend to causally relevant features. This, in turn, may facilitate causal learning. The ability to draw logical conclusions and make causal deductions, however, seems to be restricted to few species and limited to (ecologically) relevant contexts. It seems warranted to reject the traditional associationist view that non-human animals lack any understanding of causality, but convincing evidence for human-like abilities is lacking. For instance, animals do not appear to understand the causal structure of interventions."],["dc.format.extent","699"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199399550.013.36"],["dc.identifier.gro","3150682"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/7466"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.publisher","Oxford University Press"],["dc.publisher.place","Oxford"],["dc.relation.doi","10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199399550.001.0001"],["dc.relation.isbn","978-0-19-939955-0"],["dc.relation.ispartof","The Oxford Handbook of Causal Reasoning"],["dc.subject","animals, causal learning, evolution of cognition, tool use"],["dc.title","Causal Reasoning in Non-Human Animals"],["dc.type","book_chapter"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

However, exclusion may be based on avoidance of the empty location without drawing inferences about the presence of the food in the baited location. So far, such inferences have been demonstrated in the great apes only: after seeing an experimenter eating one of two food types, which both had been hidden previously in two boxes, the apes were able to choose the box that still contained the other food type. African grey parrots are capable of exclusion, and we here assessed if they are capable of inference by exclusion. In our task, two different but equally preferred food items were hidden in full view of the birds under two opaque cups. Then, an experimenter secretly removed one food type and showed it to the bird. Similarly to the apes, one out of seven parrots significantly preferred the baited cup; control conditions rule out that its choice was based on associative learning or the use of olfactory cues. Thus, we conclude that—like the apes—some grey parrots are able to infer the location of a hidden food reward."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1098/rsbl.2011.0500"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/116123"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-602"],["dc.relation.eissn","1744-957X"],["dc.relation.issn","1744-9561"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Deutsches Primatenzentrum"],["dc.rights.uri","https://royalsociety.org/journals/ethics-policies/data-sharing-mining/"],["dc.title","African grey parrots (\n Psittacus erithacus\n ) use inference by exclusion to find hidden food"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Yet, the evidence to date is equivocal, with apes as the prime candidates to possess these skills. For instance, in a two-choice task, apes can identify the location of hidden food if it is indicated by a rattling noise caused by the shaking of a baited container. More importantly, they also use the absence of noise during the shaking of the empty container to infer that this container is not baited. However, since the inaugural report of apes solving this task, to the best of our knowledge, no comparable evidence could be found in any other tested species such as monkeys and dogs. Here, we report the first successful and instantaneous solution of the shaking task through logical inference by a non-ape species, the African grey parrot. Surprisingly, the performance of the birds was sensitive to the shaking movement: they were successful with containers shaken horizontally, but not with vertical shaking resembling parrot head-bobbing. Thus, grey parrots seem to possess ape-like cross-modal reasoning skills, but their reliance on these abilities is influenced by low-level interferences."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1098/rspb.2012.1292"],["dc.identifier.isi","000308748000006"],["dc.identifier.pmid","22874753"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/25126"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Royal Soc"],["dc.relation.issn","0962-8452"],["dc.title","Grey parrots use inferential reasoning based on acoustic cues alone"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
