Title: Fish - intelligence, etc.
Post by: fcmf on December 01, 2016, 07:26:57 PM
Not anything I/we didn't know already on the basis of our own experiences but useful to pass on to any doubters out there:

@fcmf  I don't know if you caught this but there is a bit on human/goldfish attention spans, 16:40 into the podcast if you done want to wade through the whole program

Thanks, @Andy the minion - very interesting - I think I'll follow up a few of those papers that the Prof mentions. Glad that there is research out there, and in fact has been for some time, about this as there's nothing more irksome than people making derogatory comments about goldfish memory and it will be useful to have these up my sleeve to cite when required!

We evolved from fish after all, so it’s not surprising that there are similarities (we also evolved from amoebas). :)

@fcmf I haven’t forgotten my promise to pass on anything of interest. I just literally haven’t seen anything since then...

Thanks, @Hampalong

Oh my word - look at this bit.ly/2QtFr2X (scanned PDFs of aquarium mags from over a century ago). I am going to be in my element browsing these.
