Minds of Their
Own
Animals are smarter than you think.
In 1977 Irene Pepperberg, a recent
graduate of Harvard
University, did
something very bold. At a time when
animals still were considered
automatons, she set out to find
what
was
on another creature’s
mind by talking
to it. She
brought
a one-year-old African gray
parrot she named Alex into her
lab to
teach
him
to
reproduce the
sounds
of
the
English
language.
“I
thought
if
he
learned
to
communicate,
I
could
ask
him
questions
about
how he sees the world.”
When Pepperberg began her
dialogue with Alex, who
died last
September at the age of
31, many scientists believed
animals were
incapable
of any thought. They were simply
mac
hines, robots
programmed to react to stimuli but lacking the
ability to think or feel.
Any pet owner would disagree. We
see the love in our dogs’
eyes
and know that, of
course, Spot has thoughts and emotions. But
such claims remain highly
controversial. Gut instinct is not
science, and it is all too easy to
project human thoughts and
feelings onto another creature.
How,then, does a scientist prove
that an animal is capable of
thinking
—
that it is able to
acquire
information about
the world and act on it?

“That’s why I
started my studies with Alex,” Pepperberg said.
They were

she at her desk, he
on top of his
cage
—
in her lab,
a windowless room about the size of
a boxcar, at Brandeis University.
Newspapers
lined the
floor; baskets
of
bright toys
were
stacked
on
the
shelves.
They
were

and
because
of
their
work,
the notion that
animals can think is no longer so fanciful.
Certain skills are
