Higher body mass index is associated with episodic memory deficits in young adults
Obesity has become an international health crisis. There is accumulating evidence that excess
bodyweight is associated with changes to the structure and function of the brain and with …

[HTML][HTML] Artificial intelligence and the common sense of animals
The problem of common sense remains a major obstacle to progress in artificial intelligence.
Here, we argue that common sense in humans is founded on a set of basic capacities that …

The evolution of self-control
Cognition presents evolutionary research with one of its greatest challenges. Cognitive
evolution has been explained at the proximate level by shifts in absolute and relative brain …

Using the Aesop's fable paradigm to investigate causal understanding of water displacement by New Caledonian crows
Understanding causal regularities in the world is a key feature of human cognition. However,
the extent to which non-human animals are capable of causal understanding is not well …

[HTML][HTML] Obesity and insulin resistance are associated with reduced activity in core memory regions of the brain
Increasing research in animals and humans suggests that obesity may be associated with
learning and memory deficits, and in particular with reductions in episodic memory. Rodent …

Do different tests of episodic memory produce consistent results in human adults?
LG Cheke, NS Clayton - Learning & Memory, 2013 - learnmem.cshlp.org
A number of different philosophical, theoretical, and empirical perspectives on episodic
memory have led to the development of very different tests with which to assess it. Although …

Eurasian jays (Garrulus glandarius) overcome their current desires to anticipate two distinct future needs and plan for them appropriately
LG Cheke, NS Clayton - Biology Letters, 2012 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Western scrub-jays (Aphelocoma californica) have been shown to overcome present satiety
to cache food they will desire in the future. Here, we show that another corvid, the Eurasian …

Rethink reporting of evaluation results in AI
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have begun to be deployed in high-stakes contexts,
including autonomous driving and medical diagnosis. In contexts such as these, the …

Tool-use and instrumental learning in the Eurasian jay (Garrulus glandarius)
LG Cheke, CD Bird, NS Clayton - Animal Cognition, 2011 - Springer
Recent research with Rooks has demonstrated impressive tool-using abilities in captivity
despite this species’ classification as a non-tool-user in the wild. Here, we explored whether …
