Post subject: Proof of anticipation in ducks |
|
|
Ducks know that some people will feed them, and the proof
is the fact that they will come to places and wait to be fed.
Over a dozen of them would gather at sundown behind a guy's
boat down the dock, and wait due to anticipation of the feed
he would give them. |

Years ago the squirrels at Stanley Park in Vancouver B.C. would run
over to people in anticipation of being fed.
They would chatter a mean streak at you if you had no peanuts to give
them. |

When did anyone deny that animals experience anticipation? |

Simple stimulus/response. NOT the same thing at all as
human anticipation.

And the ducks were NOT "disappointed" if he didn't show. |

Goldfish do the same thing. Why do you consider this worth remarking?
Are you surprised that organisms anticipate regularities in their
environments? Even single cell cyanobacteria anticipate day-to-night
and night-to-day transitions.

Your stupid little buddy Goobernicus has been denying all
along.......then he switched his story and said that there is a
"qualitive difference in anticipation" concerning animals. |

That proves not only disappointment, but also resentment.
Now it's up to Goo to try to make up some other cause for
the behavior, which by now we know he is incapable of doing. |

Your hero Goo denys that animals can experience anticipation,
and also disappointment. If you understand that they can, maybe
this will help you to see how stupid your hero is, but of course
that's far from likely....if you haven't figured it out by this time, what
are the chances that you ever will? |

Well really it's more retarded than that...he says there's
a qualitative difference between the type of anticipation
that humans experience and the anticipation that animals
can't...or some such stupidity. Goo doesn't even know
what he thinks, and is afraid to try explaining it. |

Only because an idiot called Goo insists that no animals are
able to experience anticipation or disappointment.

I'm not. To most people it's easy to understand and makes
perfect sense, but Goo doesn't understand it, doesn't believe
it, and of course can make no sense at all out of it.

As I pointed out Goo, the simple stimulus response in this case
is called anticipation

You have no idea. Anticipation in ducks could be the same as
it is for humans.

You have no clue whether they were or not, because there's
no way that you could have. |

Even my tropical fish, and fish are notoriously dumb, do that. Well,
they don't exactly run, but they swim to the top of the tank when they
see me coming.

Any of the above work for me. Since they don't have a brain, they can have
no thought, notion, idea, or anything else regarding night and day. That may not
prevent them from being able to anticipate and respond to things, including light
and darkness, but it does prevent the ability to give any consideration to day and
night, imo. |

Do you think that possession of a brain guarantees that the possessor
has a "real concept" of its perceptions and actions?
