From the container: This intriguing program uses behavioral and communication research to open a window into the animal mind, as psychologists present their findings on innate animal intelligence gathered from the Ohio State University's Primate Cognition Project, the Smithsonian's Orangutan Language Project, and studies involving pigeons, parrots, and even octopuses. This research adds weight to the growing body of evidence that indicates animals do go beyond hardwired reflexes and responses to gather, organize, use, and retain information to solve problems.
