The projection modules 7 are four projectors arranged at four positions of the fixed rod 6, and information output from the projection modules 7 is projected to the upper part of the rolling door 4, thereby avoiding blocking the projection information on the rolling door 4 when the tupaia belangeri walks. When the path formed by the acrylic pipes in mutual, vertical, horizontal and crossed connection is a two-channel path, the rolling door 4 corresponding to the two channels is set to two effective projectors correspondingly, and the rest two projectors are invalid projectors.

In this design, when the tupaia belangeri walks below the first sensor 10, the started testing time of the tupaia belangeri is recorded; when the tupaia belangeri walks below the second sensor 11, the ended testing time of the tupaia belangeri is recorded; and thus the time that the tupaia belangeri passes through the maze is convenient to record, thereby judging its cognitive ability.

Further, the testing device further includes a communication module, which is connected to the control module, after a communication connection is established between the control module and the communication module, the control module controls the projection modules to output the graphic symbol, and the color of the graphic symbol can be controlled; the control module controls the loudspeaker to send out different sounds; and the control module controls the rolling of the rolling door.

A testing method carried out through a testing device for a cognitive ability of tupaia belangeri, wherein the testing device for the cognitive ability of the tupaia belangeri comprises a life cage, a maze, a rest bin, a rolling door, a camera module and a control module, and further comprising at least one of a touch module, a loudspeaker and projection modules;the maze is composed of a plurality of maze pipelines in mutual, vertical, horizontal and crossed connection, an interior of an intersection is communicated, and the maze communicates with the life cage and the rest bin respectively;the rolling door is arranged at the intersection of the maze pipelines;the projection modules and the camera module are all arranged in a center of the intersection of the maze pipelines;the touch module and the loudspeaker are all arranged on the rolling door;the control module controls output of the projection modules and the loudspeaker; andthe control module is configured to receive data of the camera module and/or the touch module and to control the rolling door;wherein the testing method comprises the following steps:S1, determining a target testing position in advance and arranging an unique target channel between the target position and an entrance of the life cage, and selecting the target testing position at the intersection of maze pipelines;S2, arranging a graphic symbol to be tested of the projection module, and/or a color of the graphic symbol, and/or a sound of the loudspeaker, and/or completing touch feedback at the target testing position according to the graphic symbol to be tested, and/or the color of the graphic symbol, and/or the sound, and/or the touch feedback, so that the graphic symbol to be tested, and/or the color of the graphic symbol are projected to the rolling door, and/or the loudspeaker at the target testing position sends out different sounds, and/or the touch module occurs a touch event occurs on the touch module;wherein after an above testing preparation is completed, the entrance of the life cage is opened, and the tupaia belangeri is in the life cage;S3, when the tupaia belangeri runs out of the life cage from the entrance of the life cage and enters the maze pipelines, closing the entrance of the life cage and opening the maze pipelines, so that the tupaia belangeri reaches the target testing position through the unique target channel, wherein during the process that the tupaia belangeri reaches the target testing position through the unique target channel, the camera module catches a stay process and a behavior of the tupaia belangeri in a maximum angle range, and transmits caught data to the control module, and the control module controls the rolling of the rolling door according to the received data; andS4, recording time that the tupaia belangeri reaches the rest bin from the life cage through the target testing position according to a first sensor and a second sensor, and judging the cognitive ability of the tupaia belangeri;wherein in S4, if the tupaia belangeri enters the rest bin from the life cage within 40 s, the tupaia belangeri has no cognitive ability injury;if the tupaia belangeri enters the rest bin from the life cage within 40-55 s, the tupaia belangeri has mild cognitive ability injury; andif the tupaia belangeri enters the rest bin from the life cage within 55-180 s or is incapable of entering the rest bin, the tupaia belangeri has severe cognitive ability injury.
