The evolution of cognition is a fundamentally important yet poorly researched area. It has recently become clear that rather than measuring cognitive performance between species, understanding the causes of intraspecific variation in cognitive performance is vital to accurately measure the selective benefits of cognition. Recent groundbreaking research on Australian magpies has revealed individual differences in cognitive performance are influenced by differences in sociality. This proposal will determine the causality of these results by examining the developmental and fitness consequences of individual differences in cognitive performance in relation to social interactions, thus directly addressing the sociality-cognition debate.

认知的进化是一个非常重要但研究甚少的领域。最近已经很清楚，而不是测量物种之间的认知表现，了解种内差异的认知表现的原因是至关重要的，以准确地衡量认知的选择性利益。最近对澳大利亚喜鹊的突破性研究表明，认知表现的个体差异受到社会性差异的影响。这项建议将确定这些结果的因果关系，通过研究发展和健身的后果，在认知表现的个体差异与社会互动，从而直接解决社会认知的辩论。
