The laws of animal behavior have been revised and revealed
through research performed by zoologists, physiologists and
experimental psychologists. Each has contributed much. Their main
meeting ground has been the study of mammals, especially rats. This
classic book is unique in bringing together the principal
conclusions of these researchers in a compact, well illustrated,
and lucid form.
The author himself made important original contributions to wild
rat behavior; his account of "white rat psychology" and of relevant
work on other species is equally authoritative. Experience as a
teacher enabled him to write an unusually logical and comprehensive
text, suitable for students of zoology, psychology and
medicine.
This book belongs to no particular school of biology or
psychology. Rather it admits the work of all schools and strict
adherence to none. The principal topics covered include: movement
in the living space; feeding behavior; social and reproductive
behavior; the analysis of "instinct"; the analysis of learned
behavior; "motivation" and "drive"; the brain and behavior. The
book includes a full, carefully selected bibliography, current up
to the time of original publication of the original edition.
