False Pattern Recognition

Although this research is not life or death, it is of utmost importance to understand how other animals think and react to the world around them and would be relatively simple to incorporate into existing studies. Understanding if other animals recognize false patterns will not gain humans a cure for cancer or end world hunger, but it will advance human knowledge. Obviously more funding should go to the most crucial research, but it would be simple and cost efficient to include false pattern recognition test into existing research studies.
Although it is not possible to say for certain that animals do have false pattern recognition, because enough reliable research has not previously been conducted to come to a scientific conclusion, the quality
