There's an experiment where they learn how to haul on a dangling piece of string to get to the food tied on the end - standing on the string after each pull to stop it slipping down again.
After they had mastered that they discoved that if the string was firstly led upwards over a pulley, they needed to pull downwards in order to raise the food.
But many creatures and children are cleverer than they are given credit for. One of our cats knows how to create a false alarm by the pantry door, causing another cat to vacate the favoured hot-spot by the stove, tricked into expecting food.
