There is more diversity than unity within and between the three “cognitively complex lineages”

It is argued that there are huge differences between species of the "advanced" three phyla, both cognitively and neurally, and that more sophisticated attributes than vision and motion characterize only a few of them, and these are mainly found in vertebrates. Especially with respect to learning and memory, only some vertebrate species may possess sophisticated memory processing abilities.

Abstract

It is argued that there are huge differences between species of the "advanced" three phyla, both cognitively and neurally, and that more sophisticated attributes than vision and motion characterize only a few of them, and these are mainly found in vertebrates. Especially with respect to learning and memory, only some vertebrate species may possess sophisticated memory processing abilities.
