I 131
Animal/animal experiments/behavior/Frith: we know nothing about the experience of animals, we can only observe their behavior.
>Behavior, cf. >Hetero-phenomenology, >Experience.
I 228
Learning/imitation/animal/Frith: animals can also learn by imitation: e.g. mountain gorillas show their offspring, how nettles are folded inside, in order not to bring the hairs into contact with the lips.
Animal: difference to humans: the gorillas show no interest in encouraging their offspring to learn. They also show little interest in what their offspring does at all.
>Learning, >Imitation.
Learning/human/child/Frith: the baby knows when its mother is interested in it. When an object is dropped and the mother says "shit!", the baby does not draw the conclusion that this is a word for the object.
>Reference, >Word meaning, >Language use.
