The raccoon drifted to its instinctive behavior of rubbing the coins with its paws, as it would do when foraging for food. [157] Animal ability to process and respond to stimuli is correlated with brain size. Small-brain animals tend to show simple behaviors that are less dependent on learning than those of large-brained animals.
Subsequently, the adapted brains' ability to adjust and adapt to different contexts in rapid manner and within a short timeframe allowed certain animals to have an advantage over others.

Part of the difficulty in this line of research is that observed phenomena can often be explained as simple stimulus-response learning, since mental states can often be inferred based on observed ...
For example, humans tend to gaze at the right side of a person's face, which may be related to the use of right brain hemisphere for facial recognition. Research indicates that dogs also fixate the right side of a human face, but not that of other dogs or other animals. Dogs are the only non-primate species known to do so. [56]
