No, because in order to be trained you have to have some sort of intelligence. In the text it says, "His trainer unknowingly moved his head from side to side or up and down just enough for Hans to take a cue as to what to do." This evidence shows that you have to have some sort of true intelligence to be trained.

I think there is a difference between trainability and true intelligence. I know this because in paragraph 7 the author states, " He stood in front of Hans without asking any questions. He nodded his head slightly, and the horse began to tap his hoof. When Pfungst straightened his head, Hans stood at attention." This shows that the horse was trained to tap when his head was tilted, but stop when it was straight. The horse didn't actually know the math. it was trained to notice the owner's head position.

I believe there is a difference between trainability and true intelligence. In the text it talks about the horse that was trained to answer math problems because of the way that the owner moved, not because it really could solve them. This is trainabilty, not true intelligence.

There is a difference between trainability and true intelligence, Trainability is made through influence, and sometimes instinct. True intelligence is already knowing, and sometime instinct along with being a quick learner. In paragraph 6, it states "his trainer unknowingly moved 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 how the horse;Hans, only took from influence, further proving my point about trainability and true intelligence being different.

In my opinion yes, there is a difference between trainabillity and intelligence. I know this because the author states," Wolff's statement was inspired by Clever Hans, a horse appeared to show remarkable intelligence." Then it says," When the horse was asked a question no one in his presence knew the answer." This shows that he was using his owners movements to tell the answer which was trainability.

In my opinion, there is a difference between true intelligence and train ability. In the text it states, "His trainer unknowingly moved his head from side to side and up and down just enough for Hans to take a cue at what to do." This shows that even though you need some intelligence to be able to be trained but, if you teach a dog how to solve a math problem and give a similar, but different math problem it wont be able to solve it.

No,I do think that there is a difference between trainability and true intelligence.Trainability is when you train an animal to do what you want and they must have some sort of intelligence to be able to listen to what you are trying to train them to do. True intelligence is when an animal already is born knowing how to do certain things and does not need to be trained. In the story the author states,''It is easy to confuse trainability with thinking.''That shows that it is easy to trick animals but if they are getting trained and they learned it and actually remember it well then that animal must have some true intelligence to be able to remember it and get the hang of it.

In my opinion, there is definitely a difference between trainability and true intelligence. For example, in "How smart are animals, paragraph 7 states,"He stood in front of Hans without asking any questions. He nodded his head slightly, and the horse began to tap his hoof. When Pfungst straightened his head, Hans stood at attention." This shows that Hans,(the horse), was trained to take ques and signals and it wasn't its true intelligence .

the difference between trainability and intelligence is trainability just doing and not knowing what your doing, it says in paragraph 7 about hans and how he was just tricking people to think he solved math problems when really he was just looking closely at the audience and the teacher.

I think that there isn't difference in trainability and true intelligence. In the text, it says, "These animals may seem to be behaving in an intelligent fashion, but they are just repeating behavior patterns they have been trained to perform for food rewards." This sentence proves that animals seem like they have intelligence, while they are just doing things that they were taught for a reward.

No, I do not think there is a difference between trainability and true intelligence . It says in the text "His trainer unknowingly moved his head side to side or up and down just enough for Hans to take his cue as to what to do ." This shows that Hans had an intelligence to know what his trainer was acting like so he would know what the answer was .

In my opinion there is a difference in trainability and true intelligence. In paragraph 7 it states " His trainer unknowingly moved his head from side to side or up and down just enough for Hans to take a cue as to what to do.... Pfungst was able to prove his point .He nodded his head slightly and the horse began to tap his hoof." This shows that the house was trained to do the things he did, but animals like monkeys can figure out colors on their own with true intelligence.

In my opinion there is a difference between trainability and intellgence. the author states in "How Smart are animals" ph 7 " He stood in front of Hans without asking any questions. He nodded his head slightly, and the horse began to tap his hoof. When psychologist Pfungst straightened his head, Hans stood at attention." In the text this clearly shows that "clever" Hans was trained to signals and it wasn't true that it was Not true intelilgence.

I think there is a difference between trainability, and true intelligence. In the text it says "Under these conditions, Clever Hans was no longer so "smart" ; he couldn't come up with the correct responses." This means he wasn't truly "intelligent", he was just trained to know the answers.

I believe that there is a difference between train ability and intelligence. In paragraph 7 it says "His trainer unknowingly moved his head from side to side or up and down just enough for Hans to take a cue as to what to do." This is showing that Hans the horse was trained to take cues and it isn't just common knowledge. In paragraph 1 it says "Villa had always been content to stay inside her dog run, but now she kept over the five-foot fence and rushed to Andrea's side." Villa the dog has always been content to stay in her dog run, the dog saving the little girl was probably known knowledge or pure instinct.

I think there is a difference between train ability and true intelligence. 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 that it knows what it is doing." this shows that there is some thought in training, it is not pure intelligence.

In my opinion I think there is not a difference between train-ability and true intelligence because. In paragraph 1 it says. "Unable to get out, she screamed desperately for help. Through the swirling wind, Villa, a year-old Newfoundland dog belonging to Andrea's neighbors, heard her cries. Villa had always been content to stay inside her dog run, but now she leapt over the five foot fence and rushed to Andrea's side. To help her get out and then led her to safty". Basically this paragraph was showing the reader that the dog was trained to stay in during bad weather but. It was this dog's instinct to go out anyways and help the girl.

I think there is a difference between trainability and true intelligence. In paragraph 7 it says, " He nodded his head slightly, and the horse began to tap his hoof. When Pfungst straightened his head Hans stood at his attention." This evidence shows that by doing a double blind experiment he was able to catch that the horse was just reacting to the movements not listening or following the instructors directions.

In my opinion there is a difference between trainability and true intelligence.I know this because in paragraph 7 the author says " His trainer unknowingly moved his head from side to side or up and down just enough for hHans to take his cue as to what to do." which tells you that what he did was trainability. I also know this because in paragraph 1 the author says that a 11 year old dog named villa saved a girl named Andrea from a storm which proves that villa saving the girl was an instinct or she already knew what do to do.

In my opinion there is a difference between trainability and intelligence because the author tells a brief story in paragraph 7-8 about a horse named Clever Hans, and this horse would answer math problem his owner would ask. And while you might think that this is a crazy accomplishment , but this horse was just taking clues form the audience and from his owner, Hans took clues from nodding heads, when he saw this he would start tapping his hoof,and when someone straighten their head, he would end his tapping. This story shows me that there is a difference because while taking social cues from a audience is smart, but the horse didn't actually know the answers, it just knew that he would be awarded if he he taped his hoof enough times. Many people have many different opinions, so what do you think?

2024-10-16 17:50:35 UTC

I think there is a big difference from trainability and pure intelligence. In the text "How Smart are Animals" It says, " These animals seem to be behaving in a intelligent fashion, but they are just repeating behavioral patterns they have been trained to do for food rewards." This proves animals have just been taught many skills and it is different than having been naturally gifted.

Yes, I think there is a difference between trainability and true intelligence because if someone does something to you enough times you start to learn and adapt to it but true intelligence is if you know it 🫰 like that. An example of this is Clever Hans in paragraph 7 it shows an expert quote by Oskar Pfungist which says " 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"..." this evidence shows that animals may have some intelligence from tricks and teaching, but true intelligence is different.

Is there a difference between trainability and true intelligence? In my opinion, I think there is a difference between the two, because trainability is when someone teaches you, and true intelligence is something you're born with. For example, in paragraph 6 it states, " A retired schoolteacher trained Hans as he would a child, with blackboards, flashcards, number boards, and letter cards." In this sentence, it talks about how a horse named Hans was trained to be intelligent, he wasn't born with it. Although, in paragraph 1 it talks about how a girl was named Andrea was stuck under the snow in a snow storm. And the text states, " Villa, a year-old Newfoundland dog belonging content to stay inside her dog run, but now she leapt over the five-foot fence and rushed to Andrea's side." The dog waited until Andrea grabbed her, then strained forward, pulling the girl from the drift. " In this sentence, the dog saved the girl without being taught, she was just born with amazing intelligence. To sum up my thoughts, these are the reasons why trainability and true intelligence are different.

I personally think there is a difference between train-ability and intelligence for example a dog can roll over but all the dog is doing is just something you told it to do but another dog opens a cabinet and pulls out a bag of dog food or gets the leash and whimpers knowing you know what the dog want's the dog were not trained or told what to do for example clever Hans he was told what to do " His trainer unknowingly moved his from side to side or up to down just enough for Hans to take a cue as to what to do." Hans was not as smart as you think the only thing he was smart was learning how to take obvious clue's

I think the difference between trainability and intelligence in paragraph 7 it says "he nodded his head slightly, and the horse began tapping his hoof when pfungst strained his head hans stood at attention" based on what i read i know that hans was not smart and listening and looking for answers like cheating in a way. In the first paragraph the dog helped the little girl out of the snow like an INSTINCT see the dog know that the girl was in danger the dog sensed her fear and in a 1-2 minutes she was out of the hole and in shelter because of the dog and she is probably dead by now because we know its before 1960's anyway she would be still in the snow still outside and well still but the dog knew oh she is in trouble I gotta save her even more evidence the dog licked her for comfort while the dog lead her to safety I think
