Outline of Final Research Achievements

Since dolphins have established communication with human trainers, we can expect to realize communication with dolphins via information devices by analyzing the principle of this interaction. In this study, learning experiments were conducted to give instruction to dolphin by presenting the image of the trainer's hand sign on the tablet. As a result, the process of recognizing images while repeating learning shortage and over learning was observed, and we were able to find the possibility of realizing the communication with dolphins using the information devices.
