In my opinion, there is a difference between trainability and intelligence because you can train anything but for some animals it is hard to learn and others naturally know. I think this because in paragraph four, the text states, "It is easy to confuse trainability with thinking." This sentence shows there is a difference between trainability and thinking/intelligence and it is hard to differ.

Yes, I think there is, I think this because intelligence is knowing something without being tought. For example the anecdote in the first 2 paragraphs a dog helps a girl in a snowstorm. That's intelligence, but train ability is tought to a person/animal. Like Clever Hans horse, he was thought to move his head up and down, but it was figured out that Hans was moving then the horse did what he did. This shows the difference between train ability, and true intelligence.

In my opinion yes there's a difference between Trainability and true intelligence. Their is a difference because some animals learn tricks to win treats and some just have instinct thought. In paragraph 4 the author states," it is easy to confuse trainability with thinking." This shows that it is hard to differentiate true intelligence with trainability.

In my opinion I think there is a difference between trainability and true intelligence because some animals have to be taught something and some animals just naturally know something. The text says." It is easy to confuse trainabiity with thinking ." This shows that there is a difference between trainability and true intelligence.

In my opinion, I think that there is a difference between trainability and true intelligence. Trainability means you have to teach or be taught. Intelligence is something you or animals do automatically. In the text it states, "A retired schoolteacher trained Hans as he would a child," this shows trainability. In the text it also says, "Speed of learning, complexity of learned task..." This shows true intelligence because the animal is deciding how they want to learn and what they want to learn.

In my opinion, I think that there is a difference between trainability and true intelligence because some animals can be tought different things, but with others they can do it on their own. To support this, the text says, "It is easy to confuse trainability with thinking." This shows that there is a difference between trainability and thinking / intelligence and it is hard to differ.

In my opinion, I think there is a difference between trainability and intelligence because trainability is when people teach animals to know things that they didn't know and intelligence is when the animal already knows the thing but is hard to identify the different . I know this because the text said "It is easy to confuse trainability with thinking." This shows that there is a difference between trainability and intelligence but is difficult to tell the difference.

Yes, there is a difference between true intelligence. I think this because of paragraph 7 where it says " His trainer unknowingly would move his head from side to side or up and down just enough for Hans to take a cue as to what to do." This shows me that they thought the animal was truly intelligent but in reality Hans was just trained.

Yes ,I think there is a difference between trainability and true intelligence because some animals want the treat and others know what to do but either way this is intelligence it also depends on how hard the trick is." in the text it states a train beagle identifies a suspicious piece of luggage in an airport", this speaker has to be trained a certain way to detect bad smell and goat smell and not get them confused. Conclusion of the shows that a small big coolest train and did not know the difference from good and bad smell before.

Yes, I think there is a difference because just like humans every animal is not good at the same things. In the passage it says "...using colored objects to compare the learning of a cebus monkey and a rheus monkey." "...rheus scored much better... But rheus monkeys have colored vision.. cebus is significantly different" This shows that different kinds of animals might already know things thaat others don't even though you can train both.

I do think there is a difference between trainability and intelligence because some animals can be taught something while other animals don't have to be taught. Also in the text it says "It is easy to confuse trainability from thinking". This shows there is a difference between trainability and intelligence.

2024-10-16 16:44:25 UTC

Yes, I believe there is a difference between true intelligence and trainability. True intelligence is when your pet or any animal can do something without actually being taught, trainability is when you actually have to teach them what to do. In paragraphs 7 and 9 they read, "his trainer unknowingly moved his head from side to side or up and down just enough for Hans to take cue as what to do." " Animals that are easy to train may also be very intelligent." This shows that animals can be very intelligent and learn quickly or could be very dull and take time to train, either way this proves there is a difference.

I do think there is a difference between trainability and true intelligence. In the text it states," It is easy to confuse trainability with thinking." This means there is a difference but it can be hard to vary.

Yes, there is a differents between trainability and ture intelligence becuase some animals can be taught and some can't. In paragraph 4 it says "It is easy to confuse trainability with thinking." This shows that it is hard to differ Intelligence and trainability.

2024-10-16 16:46:40 UTC

In my opinion I do think there is a difference between trainability and true intelligence, because some animals have natural instincts to do certain things and some animals don't and they have to get trained or taught. In paragraph 4 it says, "It is easy to confuse trainability with thinking. But just because an animal can learn to perform a trick doesn't mean it knows what its doing". This shows that there is a difference between trainability and true intelligence.

2024-10-16 16:48:56 UTC

Yes, there is a difference between trainability and true intelligence because some animals don't have to be taught and some do have to be taught. It says in paragraph 4 " It is easy to confuse trainability with thinking." This shows that it is hard to know if something is intelligence or not. This shows how there is a difference between trainability and true intelligence.

Yes, there is a difference between trainability and true intelligence because some animals have to be trained while others know what they are doing. In paragraph 4, the author states, "It is easy to confuse trainability with thinking. But just because an animal can preform a trick doesn't mean that it knows what it is doing." This shows that there is a difference between trainability and true intelligence, since some animals have to be taught to know a trick, but others just know how to do it.

In my opinion I think there is a difference between traiabiliy and true intelligence. True intelligence is when the person or animal already knows something. Trainablily is when you have to teach them something. In the text is says " After four years of training, Hans was ready to perform in public. When asked to solve a numerical problem, Hans would paw the answer with his hoof. ..." Also it say " Speed of learning that complexity of learned took..." This shows that " It is easy to confuse trainability with thinking."

Yes, I think there is a difference between trainability and true intelligence because wild animals have natural instincts in their environments and others can be trained. In the text it says " It is easy to confuse trainability with thinking. But just because an animal can perform a trick doesn't mean that it knows what it is doing. This shows that some animals can be trained easily and some can't.

In my opinion yes, there is a difference between trainability and true intelligence because trainability means you are trained or training. Intelligance means you already know the knowledge from little to no training.In paragraphs 6 and 9 it says," After four years of training, Hans was ready to perform in public."And "animals that are easy to train may also be very intelligent."This shows why there is a difference between trainability and intelligence.

In my opinion, I do think there is a difference between trainability and true intelligence because animal intelligence is different between every species, and most animals are trained to benefit humans. Teaching a dog how to sit won't benefit them unless they get a treat, they won't need to instinctively do this. A good example of an animal is Clever Hans in paragraph 7, which says, "When the horse was asked a question, no one in its presence knew the answer. Under these conditions, Clever Hans was no longer so "Smart..." Clever and was trained to answer math questions, which did not benefit the animal. Instead, he learned how to answer without processing what the question was. The animal still needed intelligence to do this, but it's very different compared to the way humans thought he was intelligent. Intelligence is different between every species, which makes every level of intelligence different but even so animals can be trained without being very intelligent.

In my opinion, I think there is a difference between trainability and intelligence because we train animals to do things without actually understanding the purpose or reason. All they want is a treat. For example, in paragraph seven it says "Hans was very sensitive to the smallest movements of the people watching." The paragraph also tells about Clever Hans, the horse that could allegedly solve math problems, was actually trained to react to movements. He wasn't really intelligent. This explains that when you train animals to do something, most of the time they just do the action blindly without understanding or thinking. Sometimes being able to train an animal can show intelligence, but most times they aren't really thinking about the purpose of their action.

I think there is a difference between trainability and true intelligence because some have to be trained but others have the natural instincts. In paragraph 2 it talks about the dog saving the girl, but the caption on the picture on page 157 says a trained beagle. This shows that some animals have to be trained to save, or work, but others just have the natural ability to do the task.

Yes, I think there is a difference between trainability and true intelligence. In paragraph 4 it says "...just because an animal can learn to perform a trick doesn't mean that it knows what it is doing." This shows that animals don't always know what they are doing or what that means when they do it.

In my opinion, I think there is a difference between trainability and and true intelligence. For example, in the text "how smart are animals" in paragraph 2, the text says "Some scientists say that, while Villa certainly is a wonderful animal, her behavior is unthinking, perhaps an instinctive holdover from the protective envoirment of the wolf pack, where the adult animals defend the pups against danger.". This shows that the action shown by Villa wasn't true intelligence, it was just her reaction to what was going on at the moment, and there was a chance that what she did shows loyalty, or trainability.

Yes. I believe there is a difference because some animals can be trained, but that may be all that they know. My evidence supporting this is "When the horse was asked a question, no one in his presence knew the answer. Under these conditions, Clever Hans was no longer so "smart"; he couldn't come up with the correct responses." In conclusion, some animals are smart, while others understand basic tasks or only what they were trained to do.
