Most studies so far have focused on animal species that produce alarm calls in the context of predation and thus possess cognitive abilities that are involved in both signalling and perceiving information about predator presence.
Orangutans possesses cognitive abilities comparable to those of the gorilla and the chimpanzee, which are the only primates more closely related to humans.

This study was designed to determine whether either compound, like nicotine also possesses cognitive-enhancing ability.
Abstract: Social animals possess sophisticated cognitive abilities for assessing, evaluating, and responding to a wide range of social cues.
This paper argues that humans possess unique cognitive abilities due to the presence of a functional system that exists in the human brain that is absent in the non-human brain.
Thus, from a theoretical point of view, we assume that successful learners do not only possess high cognitive abilities but also rely on a more comprehensive tool box of strategies and are more capable of applying strategies that best suit their current learning situation and abilities (Metzger 2014).
Young children possess the cognitive abilities necessary to learn biological evolution while in elementary school (e.g., Berti et al. 2010; Carey 1985; Gelman and Baillargeon 1983; Gelman and Kalish 2005; Keil et al. 1998; Metz 1995; Nadelson et al. 2009; National Research Council 2007; Toyama 2000).
This is surprising, as apes are known to possess advanced cognitive abilities [26] and show long term memory [27], [28].
Research in the last two decades has shown that honeybees possess impressive cognitive abilities, such as the capacity to match and categorise visual objects [8], learn the concept of sameness and difference [9], associatively group and recall visual objects [10], and carry out different tasks within a temporal context [11].
One respondent expressed this in terms of what the patient would want, if they possessed adequate cognitive abilities.
