Any report of memory span in non-primate animals?

11 November 2018 1 8K Report

Hi everybody,

I am looking for any report of memory span (number of items that subjects can hold in their short term memory) in non-primate animals.

I would be very grateful for any suggestion.

Nancy Kay Merbitz

Look up corvids (e.g. crows, jays, magpies, ravens). They have amazing memories. Also parrots.
