一只黄蜂偶然发现了您的野餐并落在了蜜罐上。她吃了一会儿，最后飞走了。几分钟后，她再次出现，如果不受干扰，她会反复返回。如果你生气地移动花盆，她会在原来的位置上坚持不懈地狩猎，这表明她不只是朝着蜂蜜的气味飞去。以某种方式，她记录了罐子相对于周围地标的位置。尽管她可能会在多次访问中完善她的空间知识，但她必须在第一次访问时获得足够的信息以指导她随后的返回。她在一次漫长而精心设计的飞行中做到了这一点，这是她在第一次找到蜂蜜后离开时进行的。这些学习飞行之所以有趣有几个原因。首先，在单次试验中获取复杂的空间信息。秒-
A wasp, by chance, discovers your picnic and lands on the honey pot. She feeds for a while and eventually flies off. A few minutes later, she reappears, and if she is unmolested, she will re-turn repeatedly. Should you, in exasperation, move the pot, she will hunt persistently in its former position, showing that she is not just flying toward the smell of the honey. In some way, she has re-corded the location of the pot in relation to surrounding land-marks. Although she may refine her spatial knowledge over many visits, she has to acquire enough information on her first visit to guide her subsequent return. She does this during a long and elabo-rately patterned flight that she per-forms on her departure after first finding the honey. These learning flights are intriguing for several reasons. First, complex spatial information is acquired during a single trial. Sec-
