Ägyptische Kulte und ihre Heiligtümer im Osten des Römischen Reiches.
The latter decided that they wanted to investigate Hans' abilities,
which Von Osten readily agreed to.
Von Osten was excited
and encouraged by this progress and thus decided to test the horse further.
It may not be the intellect that Von Osten was going for, but it is nonetheless impressive.
Von Osten decided to take Hans on the road,
and in 1891 he was performing free shows all over Germany.
With the permission of Von Osten, he picked up where the Hans Commission left off
and embarked on some thorough and unique investigation techniques.
Osten's project seeks to help bridge the gap
between the study of molecular and cellular brain functions and the study of the whole brain.
As a result of his beliefs, Von Osten decided to attempt to teach three different animals-
a cat, a bear and a horse named Hans.
The most fascinating part of this was that both Von Osten and any other questioner involved had absolutely
no idea that they were giving Hans cues.
The obvious conclusion would be that Von Osten had trained Hans to respond to previously prepared questions,
but why then would he so readily agree to the investigation?
Despite the fact that Pfungst's investigation proved Clever Hans to be something of a hoax,
he did inadvertently prove Von Osten's own theories surrounding the intelligence of animals.
Von Osten was instructed to ask Hans questions
that he himself didn't know the answer to, and immediately Han' accuracy went from being roughly 89% correct to almost 0%.
