Memory for recent actions in the bottlenosed dolphin ( Tursiops truncatus ): Repetition of arbitrary behaviors using an abstract rule

Eduardo Mercado, +4 more
- 01 Jun 1998 - 
TL;DR: The results suggest that dolphins can flexibly access memories of their recent actions and that these memories are of sufficient detail to allow for reenactments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Memory for action events in the bottlenosed dolphin

E. Mercado Iii., +3 more
- 09 Apr 1999 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether a bottlenosed dolphin's ability to recall and repeat actions on command would generalize to actions performed with specified objects, and they found that the dolphin appeared to have difficulty recalling which object an action was per-formed with.
Journal ArticleDOI

The dolphin's grammatical competency: Comments on Kako (1999)

Louis M. Herman, +1 more
- 01 Mar 1999 - 
TL;DR: This article found evidence from their dolphin studies for the acquisition of the closed-class functionality of demonstratives, prepositions, conjunctions, and locatives, and demonstrated that the particular modeled subsets can derive from general cognitive mechanisms, rather than language-specific ones.
Journal ArticleDOI
