Scientists in Israel have taught goldfish an unusual way to reach a target — by driving a

small robotic car on dry land.

Six goldfish, regardless of their weight and size, took part in the experiment and were taught

to drive in 30-minute sessions, conducted three times a week, every two days. The experiment was

led by researchers at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. They wanted to see if goldfish’s

ability to navigate depends on their natural environment, or if they could navigate even under very

unusual conditions.

To test the goldfish, the researchers created a special robotic car that could drive forward,

backward, and from side to side. The scientists called the car a Fish Operated Vehicle (FOV).

Goldfish was placed inside a water tank on the FOV. Using a special system, the car tracked

where the goldfish was and what direction it was swimming in. The FOV would then

automatically move in the same direction. To prevent the goldfish from getting stuck in barriers

such as walls, researchers equipped the car with lidar. The researchers tested them by placing the

car in a small room with a pink target on one side — that was where the fish were supposed to

arrive. The fish were rewarded with food when achieving the task.

The fish did indeed learn to drive the FOV, becoming more skillful in its operation overtime

both in terms of achieving tasks and in the time taken to complete that task. The researchers

wanted to check that the fish weren’t just memorizing a set of movements to earn a reward, so

they repeated some tests with a new starting position or added other targets that were a different

color. They found the goldfish were able to deal with those changes.

Tough the experiment showed that the fish were able to navigate to a target, it’s not likely

that the fish knew they were controlling a car. The researchers say that in the future it may be

possible to change the FOV to test these ideas.

did the researchers do before testing the goldfish?

fed them. numbered them.

trained them. weighed them.

did the goldfish get their reward in the experiment?

making the FOV move forward. avoiding the car being stuck.

mixing the target’s colors. having the car reach the target.

did the researchers discover about the goldfish?

were born with the ability to remember. could recognize the color’s changes.

were curious about new environments. could understand simple words.

Time to load up some popular games: new research indicates pigs possess the mental

capability to play video games. The study, published in Frontiers in Psychology, tested the ability

of four pigs (Hamlet, Omelette, Ebony and Ivory) to play a simple joystick game with their noses,

moving a cursor (光标) to four targets on the screen. Although the animals didn’t demonstrate the

skills to win a round any time, they did show an understanding of some elementary games.

Performing well above chance, the pigs appeared to recognize the movement of the cursor was

controlled by the joystick. The fact that they did so well despite a lack of flexible fingers is

“extraordinary”, according to the researchers.

“It is no small achievement for an animal to grasp the concept that the behaviour they are

performing is having an effect elsewhere. That pigs can do this to any degree should give us pause

as to what else they are capable of learning and how such learning may impact them,” said Purdue

University’s Dr Candace Croney, the study’s lead author.

Researchers also noted that while the pigs could be taught to play the game using food as

positive motivation, they also responded well to social interaction. In fact, when the game was

made more challenging and the pigs became unwilling to participate in it, “only oral

encouragement by the experimenter” would see training continue.

These findings are the latest to highlight the intelligence of pigs. Not only have they been

shown to use mirrors to find hidden food, but studies have also demonstrated how pigs can be

taught to “come”and “sit” after oral commands.

As with any sentient (有感觉力的) beings, how we interact with pigs and what we do to

them impacts and matters to them. We therefore have a moral duty to understand how pigs acquire

information, and what they are capable of learning and remembering, because it ultimately offers

the potential for how they understand their interactions with us and their environments.

can be learned from Paragraph 1?

pigs sometimes won the video games.

pigs operated joysticks with their noses.

pigs competed with each other in the games

pigs sometimes performed well accidentally.

does the underlined phrase “give us pause” refer to?

us from advancing. us in learning.

us think seriously. us to train pigs better.

made researchers believe pigs socially interacted well?

being inspired by human words. being driven by food.

being willing to keep trying. being motivated by challenges.

of the following could be the best title?

pigs: good players le noses: fun games

commands: pig learners players: learning potential
