Pigs Are Intelligent Enough to Play Video Games

Pigs may be more intelligent than we thought. They may be able to play video games. Researchers conducted research on pig-gaming skills. Researchers got four pigs to play a simple game at different levels. They had to move a joystick with                          (THEY) snout to make a cursor move to a coloured wall. If they                          (BE) successful, they got a tasty treat. The lead author Dr. Candace Croney said: “It’s very clear they had some conceptual understanding of what they were being asked to do.” The research is in a paper published in the journal “Frontiers in Psychology.” 

The research was quite extensive. The pigs spent many days playing the game. During the                          (LATE) 50 rounds, the pigs played the game on three different levels. If they were successful at one level, they moved to the next level. The                          (HIGH) levels had better treats. A scientist said: “The pigs clearly understood the connection between their own behavior, the joystick, and what                          (HAPPEN) on the screen.” Dr. Croney said it was important to understand how pigs get information, and what they are capable of                          (LEARN).
