Significance Although scientists have identified surprising cognitive flexibility in animals and potentially unique features of human psychology, we know less about the selective forces that favor evolution, or proximate biological mechanisms underlying this process. We tested 36 species two problem-solving tasks measuring self-control evaluated leading hypotheses regarding how why cognition evolves. Across species, differences absolute (not relative) brain volume best predicted performance...

Abstract This pilot study evaluated the effects of supplementation with PUFA on blood FA composition and behavior in children Attention‐Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD)‐like symptoms also reporting thirst skin problems. Fifty were randomized to treatment groups receiving either a supplement providing daily dose 480 mg DHA, 80 EPA, 40 arachidonic acid (AA), 96 GLA, 24 α‐tocopheryl acetate, or an olive oil placebo for 4 mon doubleblind parallel treatment. Supplementation led substantial...
This article summarizes the major academic problems of students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and addresses extent to which these are secondary ADHD, rather than a part co-occurring learning or cognitive disability. The delineates ADHD in relation their primary characteristics—how one influences nature other. Treatment implications discussed indicate how educators might modify classroom settings enhance achievement ADHD.

Current theory and practice in the clinical educational management of hyperactive children recommend reduction environmental stimulation, assuming distractable behaviors to be due overstimulation. This paper reviews research suggesting that behavior may result from a homeostatic mechanism functions increase stimulation for child experienceing insufficient sensory stimulation. It is suggested effectiveness drug therapies, as well evidence field deprivation, further support attempts optimize input.
Learning by rats was facilitated when response-relevant cues were provided other rats; learning increased as a function of number provided. These results suggest that can learn imitation. observed conspecifics not emitting retarded compared to did observe conspecifics. This indicates conspecific's presence also inhibit learning, result consistent with social facilitation theory.
Pigeons were trained on a matching-to-sample or oddity-from-sample task with shapes (circle and plus). Half of each group was exposed to "negative instance" trials i.e., for matching birds, neither comparison key matched the sample, oddity birds both keys sample. When all transferred new involving colors (red green), nonshifted (transferred from matching, oddity) performed significantly better than shifted oddity, matching), but only if they had experienced negative instances training...

Providing evidence for imitative learning in animals has been made difficult by the need to control a number of possible nonimitation accounts (e.g., mere presence another animal, attention drawn location, an object being manipulated) that often have not recognized previous research In present experiment we used version two-action method which treadle could be operated pigeon one two distinctive ways with its beak pecking or foot stepping What is unique this only distinct response...
