Twitter Update

The image above is my best tweet of the week because object permanence is a key term that could be used in my Literature Review essay since it relates to animal intelligence. This week I tried using the # chicken intelligence, but to my disappointment I found few tweets. However, I did find an interesting video (image below) that showed a trained chicken pecking a specific color every time, showing that they do have cognitive skills and intelligence.

I also tried using #animal intelligence and I found some interesting tweets that discussed animal intelligence in general. The most helpful account I followed was @SpringerANCO, they post new scientific articles on animal cognitions frequently. Lastly, the most interesting tweet I found was by Christine, she found an article which claimed that chimpanzees know how to take care of themselves when they are sick.

This week I responded to Vivian Pham’s Annotated Bibliography. From her titles and annotations I was confident that her “big three” were research articles. I commented on how her articles were timely, taking place in 1982, 1948, and 2014. Therefore, I recommended finding a more recent article within the last 3 years. In addition, I found no problems with the annotations themselves. I found them to be descriptive and concise and covered the main ideas effectively. For your web page design, I recommended bolding her citations and leaving a space between the annotation and citation because it was hard to distinguish between the two. Another recommendation I left was to include images of pigeons to make the page more inviting and engaging.
