A Memory Like a Horse
| Division: | Physical & Mathematical Sciences | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Carlton Trail | | City: | Strasbourg, SK | | School: | William Derby | | Abstract: | This project explored horses’ minds and specifically the previously unresearched subject of horses’ short-term memory. Horses were tested for recognition with homemade equipment consisting of various shapes in order to see whether they could remember what an object looked like or where it was located. The results clearly showed that horses remember locations rather than objects. |
