The observations and experiments which I shall describe and discuss in the following pages were made in the Marine Biological Laboratory at Wood’s Hole, for the purpose of testing Preyer’s conclusion that ophiurans are intelligent animals. In spite of the fact that there is still much difference of opinion as to what we mean by intelligence, all will agree, I think, that it involves at least the ability to learn and to modify behavior in accordance with experience. Jennings (’06, p. 291) has formulated in the law of the resolution of physiological states, the way in which behavior is modified in experience:“The resolution of one physiological state into another becomes easier and, more rapid after it has taken place a number of times.” I have attacked the problem of intelligence in Ophiura brevispina from the point of view afforded by this law of resolution.
