Cognition, Evolution, and Behavior (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition): Sara J. Shettleworth Cognition, Evolution, and Behavior (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition)
Sara J. Shettleworth
R2,874 Discovery Miles 28 740 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

How do animals perceive the world, learn, remember, search for food or mates, communicate, and find their way around? Do any nonhuman animals count, imitate one another, use a language, or have a culture? What are the uses of cognition in nature and how might it have evolved? What is the current status of Darwin's claim that other species share the same "mental powers" as humans, but to different degrees?
In this completely revised second edition of Cognition, Evolution, and Behavior, Sara Shettleworth addresses these questions, among others, by integrating findings from psychology, behavioral ecology, and ethology in a unique and wide-ranging synthesis of theory and research on animal cognition, in the broadest sense--from species-specific adaptations of vision in fish and associative learning in rats to discussions of theory of mind in chimpanzees, dogs, and ravens. She reviews the latest research on topics such as episodic memory, metacognition, and cooperation and other-regarding behavior in animals, as well as recent theories about what makes human cognition unique.
In every part of this new edition, Shettleworth incorporates findings and theoretical approaches that have emerged since the first edition was published in 1998. The chapters are now organized into three sections: Fundamental Mechanisms (perception, learning, categorization, memory), Physical Cognition (space, time, number, physical causation), and Social Cognition (social knowledge, social learning, communication). Shettleworth has also added new chapters on evolution and the brain and on numerical cognition, and a new chapter on physical causation that integrates theories of instrumental behavior with discussions of foraging, planning, and tool using.

Jeder engagierte Lehrer wird fiir neue Methoden aufgeschlossen sein, die eine Kontrolle und Steuerung des Unterrichts auf bessere Lernergebnisse hin versprechen. Daher ist es verstandlich, daB Konzepte zur "Lernzielorien- tierung" und "Operationalisierung" des Unterrichts, die in den sechziger Jahren in den USA entwickelt wurden und sich Anfang der siebziger Jahre schnell auch in Europa ausgebreitet haben, auf sehr groBes Interesse gestoBen sind. Wie viele didaktische Neuansatze ist auch die Lernzielorientierung weit iibertrieben worden und hat zu Fehlentwicklungen gefiihrt, die den Mathe- matikunterricht und die Lehrerausbildung teilweise noch heute belasten: inhaltsleere, aufwendige Formalismen zur Aufspaltung von Grobzielen in Fein-und Feinstlernziele erdriicken die Eigendynamik und die Substanz des mathematischen Lernstoffes, hahere Lernziele, die der Operationalisierung nicht zuganglich sind, werden von leicht operationalisierbaren Techniken in den Hintergrund gedrangt. Die vorliegende Obersetzung, im englischen Original 1968 erschienen, ist eine der ganz wenigen Publikationen aus dieser Zeit, die sich von der allge- meinen Modestramung kritisch abgesetzt haben, und zeugt so fiir die gesunde didaktische Intuition der Autoren. Professor Shmuel Avital, ein international anerkannter Mathematikdidaktiker, hat sich in seinen Arbeiten hauptsachlich mit der Frage beschiiftigt, wie man mathematische Aktivitiiten von Schulern anregen kann. Das fur die Hand des Lehrers verfaBte Buch ist von diesem Ansatz durchdrungen und steHt somit eine interessante Synthese von Pro- blem- und Lernzie1orienti

Sara J. Shettleworth; Series edited by Paul Bloom, Lynn Nadel
R1,489 Discovery Miles 14 890 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

A foremost scholar in comparative cognition--a discipline closely connected to behavioral biology, evolution, and cognitive neuroscience--author Sara J. Shettleworth delivers a focused treatment of the essentials in writing that is both lucid and captivating.
Brief, yet brimming with detail, Fundamentals of Comparative Cognition conveys the richness and complexity of this diverse field while addressing two fundamental questions: "What makes us uniquely human?" and "What do our minds share with other creatures?"
