Introduction
Markus Boeckle currently works at the Karl Landsteiner Private University (Austria) and as Psychotherapist. His education and research has focused on an interdisciplinary approach of philosophy of mind, evolutionary biology, cognitive biology and acoustic communication. He focuses on psychotherapy, mainly to understand self-efficacy and intentions during the process of therapy and how it influences treatment outcome. Furthermore he investigates various forms of Psychotherapy Integration.

With biodiversity loss as one of today's most pressing global problems, it is crucial to raise public recognition of this crisis and promote acceptance of conservation efforts. Plants, which typically struggle with low awareness ('plant blindness') and less emotional connection than animals with humans, are facing a special challenge. Promoting pos...

In den letzten Jahren reduziert sich die skeptische Grundhaltung von Personen in psychosozialen Berufsfeldern gegenüber der Nutzung von Onlinemedien zunehmend. Dadurch entwickeln sich neue Ansätze und Umsetzungen im digitalen Raum - so auch beim Arbeiten mit kreativen Medien. Die Interventionsmöglichkeiten sind vielfältig und können nach Art des Ko...

Bei der Behandlung von Traumafolgestörungen können kreative Medien unterschiedliche Funktionen erfüllen, z. B., das Unaussprechliche nonverbal auszudrücken oder durch sichere Orte zu verbalisieren und kreativ umzusetzen. Der Einsatz kreativer Methoden kann in unterschiedlichen Phasen angedacht werden: bei dem anfänglichen Beziehungsaufbau oder der...

Die Sichtweise von Kreativität als anthropologische Größe, die sich in Ausdruck und Gestaltung von Wahrgenommenem und im Ausprobieren von Neuem zeigt, ist die Grundlage für den Einsatz von Medien in der Integrativen Therapie. Dabei wird der Medienbegriff weit gefasst von Sachmedien über Handlungsmedien bis hin zu personalen Medien. Eingebettet in e...

Self-control, the ability to resist temptation and wait for better but delayed possibilities, is an important cognitive skill that underpins decision-making and planning. The capacity to exert self-control has been linked to intelligence in humans, chimpanzees and most recently cuttlefish. Here, we presented 10 Eurasian jays, Garrulus glandarius ,...

Accessing support services such as therapies and counselling is difficult for many young people due to a lack of personal and structural resources; stigma and lack of information also mean that pro...

Adolescence is a crucial developmental time, and it is essential to ensure stable mental health during the transition to adulthood. Peer-to-peer networks seem to be a promising tool to support adolescents during that time. While co-development often concentrates on the end-user, this paper focuses on the peer facilitators of an online peer encourag...

The ability to exert self-control varies within and across taxa. Some species can exert self-control for several seconds whereas others, such as large-brained vertebrates, can tolerate delays of up to several minutes. Advanced self-control has been linked to better performance in cognitive tasks and has been hypothesized to evolve in response to sp...

This video is the supporting information video for the paper: New Caledonian crows flexibly plan for specific future tool use. Data was collected during the field season 2018 in New Caledonia. It shows an individual being tested in a future planning paradigm. Crows are given alternating trials condition 3 and 4, where they see the platform apparatu...

Prior Experience Tool Use Training: To train crows to use a stone as a tool, subjects were first trained to drop stones into the dispenser apparatus by placing small pieces of meat underneath a stone, which was placed on the edge to the opening of the dispenser. The pieces of meat gradually decreased in size and once the crow started pushing the st...

The ability to plan for future events is one of the defining features of human intelligence. Whether non-human animals can plan for specific future situations remains contentious: despite a sustained research effort over the last two decades, there is still no consensus on this question. Here, we show that New Caledonian crows can use tools to plan...

The soft-bodied cephalopods including octopus, cuttlefish, and squid are broadly considered to be the most cognitively advanced group of invertebrates. Previous research has demonstrated that these large-brained molluscs possess a suite of cognitive attributes that are comparable to those found in some vertebrates, including highly developed percep...

Eurasian jays (Garrulus glandarius) do not habitually use tools, yet they can be trained to solve object-dropping tasks, i.e., to insert a tool into an apparatus to release a food reward.

Due to a legislative amendment in Austria to determine breath alcohol (BrAC) instead of blood alcohol (BAC) in connection with traffic offences, many results of blood alcohol calculations were simply converted using distinct conversion factors. In Austria, the transformation of BAC to BrAC was carried out by using a factor of 1:2000, which, however...

In adult humans, decisions involving the choice and use of tools for future events typically require episodic foresight. Previous studies suggest some non-human species are capable of future planning; however, these experiments often cannot fully exclude alternative learning explanations. Here, we used a novel tool-use paradigm aiming to address th...

The ability to make profitable decisions in natural foraging contexts may be influenced by an additional requirement of tool-use, due to increased levels of relational complexity and additional work-effort imposed by tool-use, compared with simply choosing between an immediate and delayed food item.

Information about novel environments or foods can be gathered via individual or social learning. Whereas individual learning is assumed to be more costly and less effective than social learning, it also yields more detailed information. Juveniles are often found to be more explorative than adults. Still under the protection of their parents, this a...

Self‐control is critical for both humans and nonhuman animals because it underlies complex cognitive abilities, such as decision‐making and future planning, enabling goal‐directed behavior. For instance, it is positively associated with social competence and life success measures in humans. We present the first review of delay of gratification as a...

In cities and densely populated areas, several corvid species are considered nuisance animals.

We conducted a detailed one-year field survey to e...

One of the mysteries of animal problem-solving is the extent to which animals mentally represent problems in their minds. Humans can imagine both the solution to a problem and the stages along the way [1–3], such as when we plan one or two moves ahead in chess. The extent to which other animals can do the same is far less clear [4–25]. Here, we pre...

Humans use a variety of cues to infer an object's weight, including how easily objects can be moved. For example, if we observe an object being blown down the street by the wind, we can infer that it is light. Here, we tested whether New Caledonian crows make this type of inference. After training that only one type of object (either light or heavy...

Intelligence in large-brained vertebrates might have evolved through independent, yet similar processes based on comparable socioecological pressures and slow life histories. This convergent evolutionary route, however, cannot explain why cephalopods developed large brains and flexible behavioural repertoires: cephalopods have fast life histories a...

Theory of Mind (ToM) is one of the most important cognitive mechanisms underpinning social interactions in humans.

Background: Chronic pain (CP) and sleep disorders (SD) are highly prevalent in the general population. However, comprehensive data regarding the prevalence and characteristics of pain and SD in primary care are rare.

The human brain stores memories of past events to guide decision-making about current and future events. Researchers long assumed that animals do not use memories in this way but rather exist in a constant stream of present needs, unable to plan for the future (1). Studies on nonhuman primates and corvids challenge this view and show that some spec...

Theory: Individuals subjected to criminal offences often have to face massive changes in their personal lives. Violence and abuse can cause traumatisation which leads to a great deal of psychological stress. People who become victims of a crime are particularly at risk of developing a psychological disease.
