"associated with"

If an animal has some kind of ability that only human beings have such as being able to do math, can I say that they have skills "associated with" humans? Does "associated with" mean the same as "like"?

I suddenly realized something. Does it mean "used by"?

Hi,

This expression means connected to/with.

So if these animals could do math and use human languages, can I say that they have skills "connected to" humans？

associated with? be used to ?
in my opinion , it may means have some close relations to human e.g.dogs cats..... Wink
