  1. 1. A group of Swedish speakers’ performance on Swedish adaptations of the Bedside WAB-Rand CLQT : The performance of cognitively and linguistically nonimpaired adults on measures of language and cognition and its relationship to verbal fluency

    Magister-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Logopedi

    Författare :Sam Skogström; [2024]
    Nyckelord :CLQT; bedside WAB-R; aphasia; cognition; verbal fluency tests; CLQT; bedside WAB-R; afasi; kognition; ordflödestest;

    Sammanfattning : There are currently no Swedish norms for the bedside version of the Western Aphasia Battery (B-WAB-R) and the Cognitive Linguistic Quick Test (CLQT). It is unknown whether age, gender, and education influence performance in a Swedish context. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Domestication effects on the human-chicken relationship

    Master-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Författare :Ruth Demree; [2023]
    Nyckelord :attentiveness; chicken; domestication; human-animal relationship; social cognition; social learning;

    Sammanfattning : Domesticated species possess certain cognitive abilities that allow them to thrive in an environment with regular human interaction, and these interactions contribute to the overall human-animal relationship. Studying the human-animal relationship allows us to better understand how domesticated animals perceive and navigate their environment, which can then be used to improve their welfare. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Equine welfare assessment : assessing equine welfare using positive parameters

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Författare :Heidi Nevala; [2023]
    Nyckelord :human-horse relation; natural living conditions; social bond analysis; time budget;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis examines positive parameters for assessing horse welfare. The purpose of the study was to examine what positive welfare parameters there are, and if they are valid or not. Data has been collected through a literature review. Findings suggest that behavioural indicators like yawning, vacuum chewing and play are not valid. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Body patterning and cognition in cephalopods - a literature review

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

    Författare :Georgina Chu; [2023]
    Nyckelord :cephalopods; octopus; body patterning; colour alteration; chromatophores; pigment cells; cognition; learning and memory;

    Sammanfattning : Cephalopods are a valuable model for studying the evolution of cognition due to their distinctive brain structure, organisation, and connectivity patterns compared to vertebrates. The development of large brains and behavioural complexities are believed to be triggered by evolutionary pressures stemming from factors like heightened predation, more demanding foraging conditions, and intense mating competition.

  7. 5. Decoding communication of non-human species - Unsupervised machine learning to infer syntactical and temporal patterns in fruit-bats vocalizations.

    Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för data- och systemvetenskap

    Författare :Luigi Assom; [2023]
    Nyckelord :animal decision making; unsupervised machine learning; UMAP; autoencoders; classifiers; bioacoustics; combinatory syntax; animal communication;

    Sammanfattning : Decoding non-human species communication offers a unique chance to explore alternative intelligence forms using machine learning. This master thesis focuses on discreteness and grammar, two of five linguistic areas machine learning can support, and tackles inferring syntax and temporal structures from bioacoustics data annotated with animal behavior.
