reply to Aspidistra:
Is it a measure of number of times the experimental subjects can or do perform an intentional act? Yes
Is the ‘fiscal interest’ Chronos referred to in the animal research due to the researchers owning the specific animals used in that research? Yes… Was the point of that research to prove that animals could do something that normally only humans do? No
Is the number for each study a time-limited count? (as in, can do the thing this number of times within X minutes/hours/days)
Is the reason for humans’ higher score than animals due to superior intelligence? Memory? Dexterity?
Were the animals in the animal research primates?
Did the experimental subjects need to cooperate with each other to do the thing?

I think I know it but…
If I wished to engage my own private research into this topic, could I do so from:
An industrial laboratory?
A typical college laboratory?
My kitchen?
Assuming I received a government grant to fund the study, would the minimum amount needed for the study be:
Over $1,000,000
Over $1,000
Over $100
Under $100

All of the above

Under $100 this one
Does it involve chance?
Does it involve luck?
Does it involve decision making?
Is it a game?

Can the wide variation in results be attributed to the different groups of test subjects having genuinely different abilities?
To differences between how the results were measured in different studies?
To a researcher error of some sort?
Were the two studies involving machines using the same type of machine?
Did the two studies involving only humans use comparable groups of humans? Or was there some significant difference that might affect the results? (For example: study A measured the ability of ten-year-olds to do Thing X, and study B measured the ability of adults.)
Would it help to know what type of animals were used in the animal study? If yes: were they vertebrates? Were they domesticated animals?
I think I know it too, but I’ll play along… How large was the sample size of the animal study? More than 1000 animals? More than 100? More than 10? More than 1?
Is the number in the study
number of subjects who can do a thing?
number of subjects who do do a thing?
number of subjects who do a thing in a particular way?
Does performing a similar study use any necessary equipment at all?

More than 1. Not more than 10. If you suspect you know the answer I am betting you do! 
reply to Aspidistra:

number of subjects who do do a thing? No

Does performing a similar study use any necessary equipment at all? Yes, you do need something.
Were the animals birds? Mammals? Reptiles? Fish?
If I were to repeat the study in my house, would I be likely to have the necessary equipment already to hand?
Would repeating the study be likely to take less than a day? Less than an hour? Less than 5 minutes?
reply to Aspidistra:
Were the animals birds? Yes Mammals? Yes Reptiles? Yes Fish? No
If I were to repeat the study in my house, would I be likely to have the necessary equipment already to hand? Possibly.
Would repeating the study be likely to take less than a day? Yes Less than an hour? Probably Less than 5 minutes? Maybe, but I think longer unless well, you cheat.
Do the numbers in the test represent a length of time?
Did the action that subjects did produce a product of some sort? If so, is the count related to the product?
Is the necessary equipment smaller than a person? Smaller than (yes, I have to do this 
) a bread box?
Oh, and incidentally, I’ve also done some research into this, and got 243.
So, the animals: A mammal, a bird, and a reptile? Or more than one of each?
Was it a type of mammal commonly kept as a pet? Commonly kept on a farm? (Same questions for the bird – and, I guess, the “pet” question for the reptile as well, since I can’t think of too many commonly-farmed reptiles.)
Did the “fiscal interest” involve selling the animals? Renting them out? Some product produced by the animals?
