#TIL: pigeons can learn to distinguish between art by Monet and Picasso

Just to be clear, I assumed amateur = naive. Not trained non-specialists.
-
Always good to check definitions!
-
I have no idea what happens if you train non-specialists. BTW there should be answers and more in the article itself, so please don't take my word on this all.

i scanned it but could only see comparisons to trained specialists, hence my interest in an inexperienced cohort
-
Ah, sorry. My mistake then! Perhaps I just know too much insider info.
-
Also, I might be really confused/wrong but are/were you assuming it's possible for an untrained person to be better than an expert?
-
no, i had missed that pigeons > experts and therefore failed at logic puzzles
-
Haha no! Don't be so hard on yourself!
