If you're asking this for an assignment you would be better off looking for scientific studies on the subject. From my own experience, bettas are intelligent as far as fish go. I know of some fish that have been trained to jump out of the water for a pellet stuck to somebody's finger with a droplet of water. This indicates that they must be able to see the pellet, because they don't jump if the same person holds the same finger out with nothing on it. My own bettas recognise my hand as opposed to any other object if I stick it in the tank, and will come up for a pat.
