In this study words were used as a discriminatory stimulus to gain food reward. Rats, among many, many other types of animals, have repeatedly demonstrated that learning to discriminate one stimulus from another is a relatively easy task. Rats can discriminate between a bell and a buzzer, or a flashing light from a steady, or from sweet substances and bitters ones.

Nothing in this study is new and nothing in this study speaks (save for the authors' discussion) to either evolution or creation. To take the position that this supports either evolution or creation is just sloppy sophistry.

Bingo. Thank you for noticing that. It is the interpretation that varies, not the facts.

These threads on creation vs evolution can get pretty funny.
