one amimal eats another animal and obtains some of the memory of the eaten animal.?

Question

I heard of an experiment approximately 40 years ago where ten worms were trained with lights = food and bell ringing = electric shock. They were then fed to 10 worms that had not been trained. After ingesting the trained worms, the untrained worms responded to stimulus in the same way as the trained ones. Prior to ingesting the trained worms, the untrained worms had no response to the stimulus. Can anyone help me with information regarding this subject?

Answer 1

Yes, I heard of this experiment a long time ago.

Answer 2

It wasn't worms Einstein. It was dogs and the scientist name was Pavlov. It is called pavlov's dogs and it's a trained memory response experiment. Has nothing to do with eating and obtaining another living creatures memory.

Answer 3

If this were true then people who eat meat would have some of the memories of the animals(cows,pigs,chickens,etc) they eat.But there is legends among some of the native americans that if you eat the heart of the enemy or sometimes the animal that was just killed you gain some of their strength.

Answer 4

Ancient Egyptians believed this and I cannot say it is true or not. As for me, personally, I don't have the memories of any animal I've eaten, so I cannot say this makes sense to me at all.

Answer 5

That would mean if you are not a vegetarian, you have retained the memory of all the animals you have eaten?

Answer 6

thats a myth...the only thing the eatee obtains is the energy from the eaten..haha.

Answer 7

In ancient Egypt, this was considered common knowledge.

Answer 8

If that is true then God help the animal that decides to eat my dumb a**!!!!

Answer 9

Answer 10

no way. myth to the extreme.
