New research tells why mice are so teachable.

 

"Scientists discovered that mice display strategic behavior in learning tasks by engaging in exploratory actions that initially appear as mistakes. Through experiments, the study showed that mice test hypotheses and adjust their strategies based on the outcomes, challenging the traditional view of animal errors as mere mistakes. This insight into animal cognition not only sheds light on how mice think but also draws parallels with nonverbal human learning, paving the way for further studies on the neural basis of strategic thinking.

New research tells us that mice think like babies. This thing makes us understand why rodents are so maddening. And why they successfully avoid things like traps. That thing makes rodents so successful and harmful. This new research opens a new view of cognition. 

Rodent's brains are not very big. And they are a good example of animals that should not be successful. But their way of using their brains is effective. The effective way to think determines the success of the individual. 

The reason why children's cognitive actions are so effective is that their brains are like empty paper. And everything that they do is new. Because they have no memories their brains have fewer memory blocks or databases. They must connect, and learning means the ability to interconnect databases. In children's brains, there is more free space in memory cells, neurons must not spend as much time finding space from memory cells. 

New EEG systems. Along with AI allows the collection of information from large populations. The neuro-implated microchips allow researchers to observe neural functions deeper in brains. During those missions, the system can observe animals and humans in the natural environment. 

The new systems can also decode the EEG. And maybe, quite soon, R&D teams can see memories from computer screens. The knowledge about brain functions tells about the advancement of thinking. And why children are so productive and creative. But when we turn into adults. We lose our productivity somewhere. 

That is one of the most interesting ways to model the thinking process. The number of neurons is not the only thing that is necessary for successful thinking. Successful operation is conducted from successful thinking. We can say that thinking is the theoretical prediction for physical actions. 

The thing. What determines the success of the thinking process, is if it benefits the species. Babies think otherways than adults. They are more curious and more unprejudiced than adults. And they will test and try things more often than adults. For babies, every day is full of new things. And that thing is making babies successful in learning things. 

The same thing makes mice and probably rats sometimes maddening. Those clever rodents learn how to void traps. And that makes them successful learners. The same models can be used to make intelligent robots to learn things. The robot can try something alone, and then it can estimate if its model is successful. In those cases, there are parameters, that determine if the system has successfully done its missions.
