Recognizing species-specific traits and individual experiences is crucial for understanding their impact on cognitive development and task performance.To reliably compare cognitive performance across species, it is vital to maintain consistency in husbandry, environment, and commensurate affective state, ensuring the same potential to develop and demonstrate their cognitive capacity.Given variations in welfare needs among species, populations, and individuals, developing species-specific indicators and measures is essential to assess, control, and better account for differences in current and cumulative welfare experiences.
