I'm curious to see if they tried to keep the ink surface area of each number the same. If not, maybe the bee's optics just average the card and go for the one that's least filled in? Or at any rate, some way to rank visual complexity rather than ruminate empty sets.
- tkahnoski 8y agoYeah... I don't see anyway for the study that 'more white' (or whatever the card color was) wasn't what the bees learned. Particularly since this is the actual correlation. "Howard trained one group of bees to understand that sugar water would always be located under the card with the least number of symbols." EDIT: adonovan linked to an article with images and showing it's not as simple as I imagined.
