| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It has seen increased attention to the cognitive system of animal cooperative behavior. Two more individuals working together accomplish that only one individual can not be achieved. It may be said that the cooperative behavior is the social skill that became necessary to survive of severe habitat. In this study, rodents (rat, Mongolian gerbil) and primates (common marmoset) and bird (cockatiel) were tested in some cooperative tasks. As a result, it was not admitted that primates and bird cooperated together. The rodents had showed the understanding the need of other individuals for the task solving. These results have been interpreted as demonstrating an understanding of cooperation in rodents. It will be thought that the rodents are useful as an animal model examining a cooperation behavior in the future study.
