| Abstract |
Adriatic sea. It is very well adapted to its environment and it has a highly developed neural system as well as hunting and predator defense mechanisms. With its intelligence it outsmarts a number of phylogenetically more divergent groups. These traits and its prevalent distribution make it a suitable species for research of cognitive and learning abilities in other animals. In the recent times, a number of studies have been conducted and papers published on this topic. It has been found that O. vulgaris exhibits a high ability of not only simple but also associative learning. Their ability of spatial learning is expressed especially due to solitary lifestyle. Although it is a solitary species, it receives knowledge from other members of the same species and is effective in solving complex tasks. The ability of O. vulgaris to learn and remember has a foundation in its biological characteristics. |
