Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each of the following
questions
Animals have an intuitive awareness of quantities. They know without analysis the
difference between a number of objects and a smaller number. In his book “ The Natural
History of Selboure ” (1786), the naturalist Gilbert White tells how he surreptitiously
removed one egg a day from a plover’s nest , and how the mother laid another egg each day
to make up for the missing one. He noted that other species of birds ignore the absence of a
single egg but abandon their nests if more than one egg has been removed. It has also been
noted by naturalists that a certain type of wasp always provides five – never four, never six -
caterpillars for each of their eggs so that their young have something to eat when the eggs
hatch. Research has also shown that both mice and pigeons can be taught to distinguish
between odd and even numbers of food pieces.
These and similar accounts have led some people to infer that creatures other than
humans can actually count. They also point to dogs that have been taught to respond to
numerical questions with the correct number of barks, or to horses that seem to solve
arithmetic problems by stomping their hooves the proper number of times.
Animals respond to quantities only when they are connected to survival as a species –
as in the case of the eggs – or survival as individuals - as in the case of food. There is no
transfer to other situations or from concrete reality to the abstract notion of numbers. Animals
can “count” only when the objects are present and only when the numbers involved are small
– not more than seven or eight. In lab experiments, animals trained to “count” one kind of
object were unable to count any other type. The objects, not the numbers, are what interest
