This is pretty much the level of my driving ability.

Not necessarily. Can fill the tank with oxygenated fluorocarbon liquid and the mouse wouldn't drown.gomachv wrote:Pretty sure a rat would have drowned

It's not even 3 seconds. They have ZERO object permanence; as soon as something is removed from their sensory perception, it ceases to exist to them. By comparison, domestic cats have approximately 16 hours of of object permanence memory. A human being's can be for life, if the memory has enough significance to be stored as permanent (although object permanence doesn't begin to manifest in the human brain until about 10-12 months of age).Not that I'm championing goldfish but that 3 second memory thing is not accurate.
in which the permanent memory is forced by repetition (often extreme).Scientists found that fish trained to respond to certain sounds in captivity still reacted months later when they heard them in the wild.

This was one of the pics in my chem book from college:
On the gold fish....in the pet store they tell you not to tap the glass on the tank because it scares the b'jeezus out of the fish. Imagine what that fish must've been going through in the fish tank on wheels. As the tank shook from moving the fish's instincts told it to flee....which just cause the tank to move more....which caused the fish to want to flee more....etc.
True...even flatworms have a very basic immediate memory of what stimulus causes a negative reaction vs. a positive one. That's not an indication of intelligence, of course.Sixtysixdeuce wrote:It's not even 3 seconds.

Remember, short term memories are chemical, while long-term are a physical change in the brain.
Memory is different from behavioral modification studies like
in which the permanent memory is forced by repetition (often extreme).Scientists found that fish trained to respond to certain sounds in captivity still reacted months later when they heard them in the wild.
