We often say that intelligence means being able to solve problems. Some animals em able to do this. For example, dogs and cats often find their way home from long distances. To do this they have to u their intelligence. They have to remember and think. But many birds find their way over long distances, too. They travel thousands of miles every year when they move from cold to warm countries. We do not know how they do this but we know that they do not u their intelligence. They do not remember places and directions and then make decisions. Young birds are able to make the journeys without help as soon as they can fly. They are born with this ability. This is not intelligence.
We call this “instinct”.
Often we cannot be sure whether an animal is acting intelligently or instinctively. When a dog hears a strange noi, it barks. This is instinct. It cannot stop itlf from doing this. It does not really know why it is doing this. But supposing a noi is on fire and the dog barks outside its master's bedroom until he wakes up. Is the dog using its intelligence? Is it solving the problem by waking its master or is it simply barking instinctively becau it is afraid? Often we cannot be sure.
Many animals, however, can be taught to solve problems, especially when they are given rewards. Rats have been taught to touch a key to get food. Animals in circus (马戏团) have been taught to do all sorts of tricks to amu the audience. In all the cas we may say that an animal is using intelligence. It is saying, “If I do this, I will get a reward. Therefore, I will do it.” This may be thought of as a low kind of intelligence.
