Evolution of Learning and Memory Mechanisms is an exploration of
laboratory and field research on the many ways that evolution has
influenced learning and memory processes, such as associative
learning, social learning, and spatial, working, and episodic
memory systems. This volume features research by both outstanding
early-career scientists as well as familiar luminaries in the
field. Learning and memory in a broad range of animals are
explored, including numerous species of invertebrates (insects,
worms, sea hares), as well as fish, amphibians, birds, rodents,
bears, and human and nonhuman primates. Contributors discuss how
the behavioral, cognitive, and neural mechanisms underlying
learning and memory have been influenced by evolutionary pressures.
They also draw connections between learning and memory and the
specific selective factors that shaped their evolution. Evolution
of Learning and Memory Mechanisms should be a valuable resource for
those working in the areas of experimental and comparative
psychology, comparative cognition, brain-behavior evolution, and
animal behavior.
