A really amazing series of videos. Mind blowing!

Caroline,

I do not know any specific literature on manual feeding and learning. Monkeys, for example, learn tasks well, when rewarded with sweet fruit, like grapes, raisins and apples, or fruit juice. Rats would do just about anything for chocolate milk.

Umm, hi. Peter Meizer wrote an answer to your question, but accidentally posted it to something I wrote. Just thought I'd tell you in case you want to know what he said.

Do you know what research article shows the findings of learning when being hand fed?

[Derek Hettinger]

Fascinating stuff.
