What occupies the mind of an animal? To what extent do they
experience consciousness? Is there such a thing as culture in the
animal kingdom? For those new to this fascinating topic, this
innovative text delivers an apt and comprehensive introduction to
the rich and complex world of animal behaviour and cognition.
Discover pivotal case studies and experiments that have irrevocably
shaped how we view the psychological and social lives of animals
and discover such key cognitive topics as memory, communication and
sensory perception. Projecting an insightful scope into the
cognitive world of animals, from considering the use of tools in
birds to the dance communication system of the honey bee, Wynne and
Udell analyse and explain the importance of the observations and
studies that have led to the greater understanding of how animals
learn, perceive social relations, form concepts, experience time
and navigate space. Written with the student-reader in mind, this
text provides the ideal introduction to this excitingly progressive
field in psychology to any undergraduate undertaking courses in
animal behaviour and comparative psychology. This book is for those
who desire to learn an up-to-date history of cornerstone theories
in the field thus far and gain a comprehensive introductory
understanding into the function and evolution of the broad range of
cognitive and behavioural faculties in animals. New to this
Edition: - 'Focus on the data' boxes in-text exploring the
scientific foundation of theories and debates - Authors have taken
care to ensure that this 2nd edition has been thoroughly expanded
