      I work on how animals learn to do things, whether they copy what others do and why they change their behaviour. The main ways we do this is to set them puzzles that they can solve to get food. The animals love doing it because it is fun (and they get a nice juicy grape or peanut). We video them doing it and we can then record the different behaviours that they do and work out what they are doing from the video.
