Psychology of Animal Behavior: Comparative Vertebrate Cognition
This class will examine the cognitive underpinnings of behavior among nonhuman vertebrates, designed to be broadly accessible to graduate students across related disciplines. It will include historical perspectives from classical ethology and behaviorist schools as a prelude to examining contemporary theory, methods, and findings in cognitive ethology and comparative cognition. Topics of interest will include animal thinking, memory, representation, theory of mind, problem-solving, affect, and communication. Species will particularly include nonhuman primates, other nonhuman mammals, and birds. click here for more information
