Animal Cognition in Nature: The Convergence of Psychology and Biology in Laboratory and Field de Russell P. Balda

Animal Cognition in Nature: The Convergence of Psychology and Biology in Laboratory and Field

Autor Russell P. Balda, Irene M. Pepperberg, A. C. Kamil
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 sep 1998
In this book, the editors bring together results from studies on all kinds of animals to show how thinking on many behaviors as truly cognitive processes can help us to understand the biology involved. Taking ideas and observations from the while range of research into animal behavior leads to unexpected and stimulating ideas.
A space is created where the work of field ecologists, evolutionary ecologists and experimental psychologists can interact and contribute to a greater understanding of complex animal behavior, and to the development of a new and coherent field of study.

Recenzii

"All the authors present their most contemporary data and discuss them in a cognitive framework, considering the advantages and disadvantages of such a framework. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in the interface between ecology, ethology and animal cognition." --Juan Carlos Reboreda in IBIS (2000)
