四个种子缓存corvid物种进行了测试，在一个开放的房间模拟的径向臂迷宫。在实验1中，物种更依赖于储存的食物，克拉克的胡桃钳（Nucifraga科隆比亚纳）和松鸦（Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus），获得的任务更快，更高的准确性水平比灌丛松鸦（Aphelocoma coerulescens）或墨西哥松鸦（A。ultramarina）。在实验2期间，测试保留间隔后的性能。当以升序测试30-210 min的间隔时，再次获得采集期间观察到的种属差异。然而，当以随机顺序测试5-300分钟的间隔时，物种仅在较短的间隔内不同。在实验3中，只有胡桃夹子给出了任何指示，执行上述机会后，24小时的保留间隔。研究结果支持了空间信息处理中的物种差异与对储存食物的依赖相关的假设。
Four seed-caching corvid species were tested in an open-room analog of the radial-arm maze. During Experiment 1, the species more dependent on stored food, Clark's nutcrackers (Nucifraga columbiana) and pinyon jays (Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus), acquired the task more quickly and to higher accuracy levels than either scrub jays (Aphelocoma coerulescens) or Mexican jays (A. ultramarina). During Experiment 2, performance after retention intervals was tested. When intervals of 30-210 min were tested in ascending order, species differences observed during acquisition were again obtained. However, when intervals of 5-300 min were tested in random order, the species differed only at shorter intervals. During Experiment 3, only nutcrackers gave any indication of performing above chance after a 24-hr retention interval. Results support the hypothesis of species differences in spatial information processing that correlate with dependence on stored food.
