Description
Alexandra Schnell, Nathaniel Farndale Wright, and Nicola Clayton review 2023 work on the inner lives of cephalopods, the group that holds octopus, cuttlefish, and squid. Their minds have drawn scientists for ages, yet how far we can grasp what they feel stays in dispute. Lab tests that probe how they act can shed some light on that hard question.
The review groups the proof under three heads: awareness of self, awareness of others, and awareness of time. For each, it lays out what tests have shown so far and where the gaps lie. Some acts of these animals cry out for tests that have not yet been run. The authors argue that work framed by comparative psychology can widen our grasp of this odd and able class of animals.
