Rats Can Tell Apart Human Languages
Research done in the past decade in Spain has uncovered that rats are able to tell the difference between various human languages. This indicates that, in the span of evolving, mammals have developed portions of their brains that process language even before human languages were developed. At the time that this research was published, in 2005, it was the first animal, since humans and monkeys, shown to have this skill. In the research Dutch and Japanese were used because their structures are very different. Interestingly, rats could only easily tell the difference between the languages when the sentences were spoken by the same person. When they were spoken by different people, they had a more difficult time telling the difference. Human babies have the same difficulty. However, monkeys are able to tell the difference whether the sentences are spoken by the same or different people. This research has been published by the American Psychological Association. |
