Sammanfattning

Learning and memory processes give fishes the ability to adapt and shape their behavior, allowing them to out-smart predators and helping them to find and relocate profitable feeding sites. Although fishes were once portrayed as simple stimulus–response automata with limited memory capacity, we now recognize that many fishes have impressive cognitive abilities, with some fishes even rivaling other land-based vertebrates such as the birds and mammals.
