Originally published in 1978, this book is a collection of chapters
based on the papers read at a conference in 1976 at Dalhousie
University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The title starts with an
introductory essay in which a metatheoretical and philosophical
approach to the problem of cognition in animals is discussed. The
succeeding chapters are arranged, topically, from basic associative
processes to higher mental operations. Problems derived from models
of association are discussed; as well as work on attention, memory,
and the processing of stimulus information; other deal with time,
spatial, and serial organization of behaviour, and concept
formation.
This is a classic edition of a landmark text in the field Features
a new introduction by the surviving editor, highlighting the
developments in the field over the past 45 years Will continue to
appeal to all students and researchers of Behaviorism, providing a
snapshot of the field at the height of its popularity

The study of discrimination and generalization in animals
traditionally involves stimuli that are simple, uniform, and
restricted in time or space. In recent years, the area of stimulus
control has been expanded with the use of stimuli that are complex,
extended in time or space, and incorporate or represent natural
objects, events, or locations. The contributors to this unique
volume have emphasized controlling functions of complex stimulus
events -- such as location or duration -- and their relation to
cognitive processes in animals. The chapters cover a wide array of
topics, including spatial cognition, categorization, pattern
perception, numerosity discriminations, imagery, and spatial
tracking, thereby addressing the question of how complex events are
perceived, processed, and organized. This volume goes beyond other
recent books on animal cognition in that it specifically places
some well-known phenomena within the context of stimulus control.
