Research Could Be Forgetting Something, Suggest Researchers:
``Prior to our paper, it was suggested that any word could be primed,''
she said. ``We're saying that is not the case. Before it was thought
to be the 'visual' processing of the first list that primed the visual
processing of the stem. Now we think it is more than visual.''
- Elephants
Recognize 'Self': The basic test is simple: A scientist
paints spots on an animal's face and then allows it to see its reflection
in a mirror. If the animal recognizes itself, it tries to clean itself,
while watching the face in the mirror. Simonet did her study with
two Asian elephants -- 45-year-old Bertha and eight-year-old Angel
-- both performers at a Las Vegas casino. For about two weeks, she
simply put up a large mirror in the elephants' barn so that they could
get used to it and their images. Then, with the help of the elephants'
trainer, she painted large white blotches on their foreheads, cheeks
and hips. Original
