Scientists reported yesterday that this ability to recognise objects using different senses has now been shown to exist in insects, namely bumblebees. It works across vision and touch in humans, apes, monkeys and rats. Dolphins can visualise objects that they echo-sense, and some fish can build up a picture based on their electric sense.
About 40 bees were set loose in a dark and windowless room with the objects, learning through touch which shape contained the reward and then consistently re-visiting only objects of that shape.This time there was a plexiglass layer placed on top of the shapes that prevented the bees from differentiating the objects by touch.
