Nevertheless, as early as the 1920's, researchers found that cats can
learn complex tasks, especially if the reward is food. And in highly
structured tests of learning ability, cats often outperformed dogs in
the ability to master conceptual problems. In the 1950's, animal
behaviorist J. M. Warren at Pennsylvania State University at University
Park described the cat's ability to master "oddity learning" in which
the animal is shown three objects and is rewarded for selecting the one
that is most unlike the other two.
