“…Produce strong differences in short amount of time and trials is a quest when dealing with models that investigate insight in nonhuman animals since the procedures can be long and extremely hard to be replicated between different subjects due to the complexity of the target behaviors and the idiosyncrasies of the shaping procedures . The results also point toward an acquired component of insight that can be tested in humans and non-humans by modifying behavioral experiments instead of using indirect comparisons or analogies such as the genetic traits of mood behavior (Knaus, 2021).…”

“…In this paradigm, the ladder that was trained to control the climbing behavior acts as a conditioned reinforcer and appears to elicit digging behavior during the insight test (Neves-Filho, Dicezare, Martins-Filho & Garcia-Mijares, 2016). Recent investigations showed even stronger evidence supporting the role of the ladder controlling the position where the digging is produced during insight test by changing the position of the ladder and finding changes in the typical position of the digging(Knaus et al, 2021). This results appear to support that there is a transference of learning that facilitates the ladder to partially control digging behavior.…”

“…However, many other features were added to its observation and definitions throughout the years (Epstein, 2015;Osuna-Mascaró & Auersperg, 2021). The idea of fluidness as a feature associated to insight is not new but has been recently took into the focus of many efforts of investigating insight under the lens of the contingencies of reinforcement underlying it Knaus, 2021).…”

“…A group of researchers recently reported a novel task to investigate Epstein's insight in non-human animals Knaus, 2021). In their task, an acrylic chamber with two sides are separated by a barrier.…”
