It's frustrating to see that history repeats itself over and over again and nobody takes the cue to fix the problem.
The brain uses other visual cues to adapt to the problem, but Peyton still sees the world in two dimensions, like a photograph.
These results highlight the importance of the retrosplenial cortex (areas 29 and 30), including the dysgranular cortex (area 30), for the effective use of distal visual cues to solve spatial problems.
This strategy provides a statistical solution to the problem of cueing germination with unreliable signals [ 37, 38].
To determine whether subjects relied on perceptual cues to solve the classic support problem, and if so, which ones they used, it is necessary that successful subjects are subsequently presented with modified versions of the classic setup (transfer tasks) where causally relevant aspects of the setup have been changed.
When employed previously, performance in such transfer tasks typically indicated that animals relied on a variety of perceptual cues to solve the classic support problem and consequently failed at least initially in one or several of the transfer tasks (Povinelli et al. 2000; Irie-Sugimoto et al. 2008; Auersperg et al. 2009; Yamazaki et al. 2011).
A number of researchers have reasoned that an excessive focus on inappropriate or irrelevant cues hinder the problem solver to recognize the possibly obvious solution [13], [14], [15], [16], [17].
This monograph is devoted to the problem of inferring geometric information about arbitrarily curved surfaces from visual cues; this is a central problem in computer vision with immediate relevance for robot manipulation and navigation.
However, movement across an uneven surface depends on coordination of the contraction of the leg muscles with predictive visual cues so the problem of locomotion makes these two developmentally independent subsystems part of the same functional unit.
Titles in the experiment served as cues to indicate that new problems were addressing similar goals as the worked problems [ 40].
