Write your answers in the box below. (0.5 point) Pigeons have been taught to recognize human facial expressions, upsetting long-held beliefs that only humans have evolved the sophisticated nervous systems needed to perform such a feat. In recent experiments at the University of Iowa, eight trained pigeons were shown photographs of people displaying emotions of happiness, anger, surprise, and disgust. The birds learned to distinguish between these expressions. Not only that, but they were able to correctly identify the same expressions on photographs of unfamiliar faces. Their achievement does not suggest, of course, that the pigeons had any idea what the human expressions meant. Some psychologists had theorized that, because facial expressions are vital to human communication, humans have developed special nervous systems capable of recognizing subtle differences between expressions. Now the pigeons have cast doubt on that idea. In fact, the ability to recognize facial expressions of emotion is not necessarily innate even in human babies, but may have to be learned in much the same way that pigeons learn. In experiments conducted several years ago at the University of Iowa, it was found that pigeons organize images of things into many of the same logical categories that humans do. None of these results would come as any surprise to Charles Darwin, who long ago wrote about the continuity of mental development from animals to humans. 1. What can be inferred about pigeons from the information in paragraph 1? A. They show the same emotions that humans can. B. They can understand the human emotions. C. They can identify only the expressions of people that they are familiar with. D. They have more sophisticated nervous systems than were once thought. 2. What does the passage imply about human babies at birth? A. They have nervous systems capable of recognizing subtle expressions. B. They can learn from pigeons. C. They are not able to recognize familiar faces. D. They may not be able to identify basic emotions through facial expressions. 3. Why does the author mention the experiments conducted several years ago at the University of Iowa? A. They proved that pigeons were not the only kind of animal with the ability to recognize facial expressions. B. They were contradicted by more recent experiments. C. They proved that the ability to recognize human expressions was not innate in human babies. D. They showed the similarities between the mental organization of pigeons and that of human. Page 4 of 6
