Story
Clever Hans appeared to perform arithmetic, but Pfungst showed the horse was responding to unconscious human cues.
The case became a foundation for better experimental controls and the concept known as the Clever Hans effect.
Clever Hans is archived because the story changed how humans study animals and interpret animal intelligence.
