Passage-!
An upsurge of new research suggests that

animals have a much higher level of


brain power than previously thought. If
animals do have intelligence how do
scientists measure it? Before defining
animals' intelligence, scientists defined
what is not intelligence, Instinct is not
Intelligence. It is a skill programmed into
an animal's braing by its genetic heritage.
Rote
conditioning is also not
intelligence. Tricks canbe learned by
repetition, but no rela thinking is
involved. Cuing, in which animals learn
to do or not to do certain thinges by
following outside signals, does not
demonstrate Intelligence. Scientists
believe that insight, the ability to use
tools, and communication using human
language are al 1 effective measures of the
mental ability of animals. When judging
animal intelligence, scientists look for
insight, which they define as a flash of
sudden understanding. When a young
gorilla could not reach fruit from a tree,
she noticed crates scattered about the
fawn near the tree. She piled the crates
into a pyramid, then climbed on them to
reach her reward. The gorilla's insight
allowed her to solve a new problem
without trial and error,
