Goffin’s cockatoos, a kind of small parrot native to Australasia, have been  shown to have similar shape-recognition abilities to a human two-year-old.  Though not known to use tools in the wild, the birds have proved skilful at tool  use while kept in the cage. In a recent experiment, cockatoos were presented  with a box with a nut inside it. The clear front of the box had a “keyhole” in a  geometric shape, and the birds were given five differently shaped “keys” to  choose from. Inserting the correct “key” would let out the nut.

In humans, babies can put a round shape in a round hole from around one  year of age, but it will be another year before they are able to do the same  with less symmetrical (对称的) shapes. This ability to recognize that a shape will  need to be turned in a specific direction before it will fit is called an  “allocentric frame of reference”. In the experiment, Goffin’s cockatoos were  able to select the right tool for the job, in most cases, by visual recognition  alone. Where trial-and-error was used, the cockatoos did better than monkeys in  similar tests. This indicates that Goffin’s cockatoos do indeed possess an  allocentric frame of reference when moving objects in space, similar to  two-year-old babies.

The next step, according to the researchers, is to try and work out whether  the cockatoos rely entirely on visual clues (线索), or also use a sense of touch  in making their shape selections.

24. How did the cockatoos get the nut from the box in the experiment?

A. By following instructions. B. By using a tool.

C. By turning the box around. D. By removing the lid.
