This concise overview provides a scientific yet highly accessible
introduction to the science of animal cognition. Written for
undergraduate college courses as well as any interested reader, it
encompasses the history of animal cognition studies, essential
theories and methodology, and the latest findings and controversies
in animal consciousness and communication. The book challenges
myths and preconceived notions about animal cognition by explaining
the scientific theories, the perils of anthropomorphism, and the
value of knowing a species' natural history before making
assumptions or drawing conclusions. Each chapter includes an
"Animal Spotlight" and "Human Application" section. The Animal
Spotlight highlights individual animals-"rock stars" of animal
cognition-that have made significant contributions to the field.
Reminding us that we too are animals, the Human Application
sections connect topics in animal cognition to human behavior and
cognition. Additionally, the book provides ideas for readers to
conduct their own investigations into animal cognition. Key
