Multiple Choice
Refer to the figure showing brains of various sizes and complexities.Keep in mind that the species shown can have similar body masses as adults. Which statement is false?
A) Brain size is a better indicator of behavioral complexity than is brain size controlled for body size.
B) Pigs have a better sense of smell than humans.
C) Given that the cerebrum is responsible for learning, conscious motor activity, and memory, the behavior of pigs is more complex than that of alligators.
