[ 5 ] Later experiments supported the claim of existence of a number sense in birds, with Alex , a grey parrot, able to label and comprehend labels for sets ...
Information foraging is a theory that applies the ideas from optimal foraging theory to understand how human users search for information. The theory is based on the assumption that, when searching for information, humans use "built-in" foraging mechanisms that evolved to help our animal ancestors find food.
