What Is the Cognitive Rift Between Humans And Other Animals?

Now this is interesting, because the four things identified look rather similar to some of the higher-order thinking functions in Bloom's taxonomy. The findings are written up for us here. What Is the Cognitive Rift Between Humans And Other Animals?: "Hauser presents four distinguishing ingredients of human cognition, and shows how these capacities make human thought unique. These four novel components of human thought are
the ability to combine and recombine different types of information and knowledge in order to gain new understanding;
to apply the same 'rule' or solution to one problem to a different and new situation;
to create and easily understand symbolic representations of computation and sensory input;
and to detach modes of thought from raw sensory and perceptual input."
I make that
synthesis
application
comprehension
analysis.
If I'm not mistaken.
Interestingly for me, these seem to play into the stuff I've mentioned before in relation to Adam naming the animals. In order to do that, all of those kinds of thinking are needed, I think....
