I. GRAPHIC ORGANIZER:
FORMULA: In the article ¨Extreme perception and animal Intelligence¨, authors Temple Grandin and Catherine Johnson
discusses about how some animals can show high intelligence in different situations.
1. Main Idea 1 *Animals that display a deep understanding of the world around them are plentiful.
2. Main Idea 2 *Dogs who are truly intelligent will apply their thinking skills to new situations.
3. Main Idea 3 *No one knows how seizure response dogs read sings given off by humans before a
seizure.
4. Main Idea 4 *Clever Hans was not really counting but was able to detect and understand human sings
that even humans could not see, just as seizure alert dogs can.
5. Main Idea 5 *Hans was intelligence because he read a member of different species and was able to
train himself.
6. Main Idea 6 *Some animals are showing superior intelligence when developing their skills over other
animals.
7. Extra information *It´s one thing for a dog to star recognizing the signs that a seizure is coming, But It´s
another thing for a dog to star to recognize signs of an impending seizure and then decide
to do something about it. That´s what intelligence is in humans, intelligence is people
using their built-in perceptual and cognitive skills to achieve useful and sometimes
remarkable goals.
II. DRAFT:
In the article ¨Extreme perception and animal Intelligence¨, authors Temple Grandin
and Catherine Johnson describes how some animals can show high intelligence in
different situations. First of all, the authors mention that Animals that display a deep
understanding of the world around them are plentiful, this idea is developed in the
article through different examples. This idea is developed in the article through
different examples among which we can find, alert seizure dogs and Hans horse.
Second, dogs who are truly intelligent will apply their thinking skills to new situations.
When you consider the employment that some dogs have created for themselves
utilizing their high perceptual skills, you enter the domain of actual cognition, which
is the ability to solve a problem under unique circumstances. Clear evidence of this
is alert seizure dogs, no one knows how seizure response dogs read signs given off
by humans before a seizure. The New York Times just published an excellent article
about Connie Stanldey, a lady, who has two Bouvier de Flandres dogs that can
foresee her seizures. Ms. Standley's canines were supposedly trained as seizure
alert dogs before they came to her, but that's a rare breed. The majority of seizure
alert dogs are taught to respond to seizures rather than foresee them.
Third, Clever Hans was not really counting but was able to detect and understand
human signs that even humans could not see, just as seizure alert dogs can. Dr.
Pfungst solved the case by putting Hans’s questioners out of view and having them
ask Hans questions they didn´t know answers to themselves. It turned out Hans
could answer questions only when the person asking the question was in plain view
and already knew the answer. If either condition was missing, his performance fell
apart, but Hans was intelligence because he read a member of different species and
was able to train himself.
Finally, Authors explain that Some animals are showing superior intelligence when
developing their skills over other animals. For that reason, it’s one thing for a dog to
detect the indicators of an imminent seizure and then decide to do something about
it; it's quite another for a dog to identify the indications of an approaching seizure
and then decide to do something about it.
The authors conclude by making a comparison between the development of
intelligence in animals versus humans, mentioning that ¨Intelligence is people using
their built-in perceptual and cognitive skills to achieve usual and sometimes
remarkable goals¨.
Self-Check Point:
1. Is my formula complete? If yes, use different colors to identify the elements.
2. Am I using vocabulary from the Unit? If yes, underline them
3. Does my conclusion really give the idea of a closure?

aspects.
