  • She probably only picks the bucket with fewer apples when she's not very hungry.

  • @ccskate thats anti-racism!

  • @coder0xff Most people educated in cognitive science know about the Clever Hans effect-- it's a legitimate possibility, if the girl is in fact signaling the elephant. But the guy in the Clever Hans situation was not educated in cognitive science, thorough experimental testing, or proper bias-eliminating methods; whereas the girl, in order to train her elephant as she has, needed to be educated in these things. So it isn't likely that this can be dismissed as just another clever hans.

  • This is probably just the "Clever Hans effect". Tried to link to the Wikipedia article Clever Hans, but youtube doesn't like links I guess.
