But it turns out that they can also switch on other senses to figure out a problem, just lik
19、e humans. A new study indicates that when one of their senses is blocked, they can make decisions to use other senses to imitate a humans movements.In the first experiment, a bottlenose dolphin named Tanner was blindfolded and instructed to imitate the actions of a trainer in the water with him. Whe
20、n Tanner wasnt able to use sight to figure out the movement, he switched to another technique: send out sounds, listen to the echo and interpret the resulting sound waves. This ability known as echolocation(回声定位法) allowed Tanner to mimic movements by the trainer, such as spinning in the water.The st
21、udy, conducted at the Dolphin Research Center in the Florida Keys, expands on previous studies looking at how dolphins are able to imitate other dolphins while blindfolded. To see if a change in sound would affect their imitation, researchers used humans instead of dolphins to make the movements in
22、the water.Dr. Kelly Jaakkola said researchers were surprised by Tanners use of echolocation. She explained that dolphins must decide when to use echolocation, “and thats problemsolving.”Janet Mann, a professor of biology who was not involved in the study, said the results were not surprising in that
23、 they were consistent with how dolphins act in the ocean. “Of course they would use their echolocation to get more information. Dolphins have to solve problems all the time in the wild.” she said.In the first experiment, trainer Emily Guarino indicated to Tanner that he was supposed to imitate, and
24、placed plastic eyecups over each eye. Wordlessly, the trainer began to spin in the water with his arms wrapped across his shoulders. Tanner then did a similar spin. After that, researchers tested a dozen behaviors that Tanner already knew, including blowing bubbles underwater, swimming like a shark
25、with the tail or feet moving side to side and floating on top of the water. Each behavior was tested twice at random, with and without the blindfold, as researchers recorded echolocation sounds underwater. Tanner was just as accurate at imitating a human blindfolded or not as he was at imitating ano
