Comparative Learning and Cognition

Bol

Comparative Learning and Cognition provides a comparative analysis of the vast landscape of experimental and field research on learning, cognition, and behavior, with an emphasis on nonhuman animals. Comparative Learning and Cognition offers a comprehensive analysis of experimental and field research on learning, cognition, and behavior in nonhuman animals. Over the past two decades, the field has advanced significantly. While still firmly rooted in the study of behavior, contemporary research now interweaves principles from neuroscience and human cognition. This book emphasizes behavioral plasticity and integrates evolutionary, neuroscientific, and comparative perspectives in examining topics such as associative and nonassociative learning, social learning, tool use, navigation, and communication in nonhuman animals. With its integrative approach, this is an essential text for core psychology courses on comparative learning and cognition.
