orsolars.bsky.social @orsolars.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Very happy to see this study out in Cognition! 🐥 Our results show that young chicks can learn the abstract spatial relation “above/below” and generalize it across changes in appearance, spacing, and position. A small window into how early abstract concepts may emerge. 010

A Cognition study by Orsola Rosa-Salva @cimecunitrento.bsky.social, hosted at the Univ. of Padua, with Rugani, Felisatti & Regolin, shows that young chicks learn “above/below” despite changes in appearance, spacing & position. 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.co... 071
