Can spiders think?

Question

can spiders like think??

like i kno they must be able to.. but can they like think like humans do?

Answer 1

yes spiders can think but they cant think like humans can

we have a larger brain and spiders only have a few ganglia to think with

if youve ever heard of the hunting spiders they actually follow you because of their ability to think

Answer 2

I wouldnt say as in human terms no, they dont have to worry about time schedules and all, but they do have to survive. They have done studies on jumping spiders, and found that they are incredible problem solvers, such as finding ways to stealthily get to prey thats surrounded by obstacles, laying out traps, and they are very intelligent in the way they solve the problems. I watched the show on PBS, and Im really glad they are as small as they are, we would be in big trouble if they were the size of a small dog~

Answer 3

Nope.  Only humans can think.  Thinking requires a complex set of interactions that requires an advance brain and nervous system.  It also requires intelligence, learning, logic and rationale.  None of these do spiders, indeed no animal, except man has.
