It is particularly associated with the development of behavior, phylogenetic history, and adaptive significance. Comparative psychology addresses numerous issues, while making use of various methods and exploring the behavior of different species, ranging from insects to primates. It is involved in cross species comparison, which include comparisons between animals and humans. One of the prominent areas of research within this field is animal cognition. It is involved in the study of the mental processes which control complex behavior among animals, including concept formation, attention, memory, time estimation, and spatial cognition. This book aims to shed light on the role of comparative psychology in measuring growth and grades of intelligence. It will also provide interesting topics for research, which interested readers can take up. This book, with its detailed analyses and data, will prove immensely beneficial to professionals and students involved in comparative psychology at various levels.

1.553,95 kr. The sub-field of psychology which focuses on the behavior and mental processes of non-human animals is known as comparative psychology. The two most prominent areas of study under this field are the commonness of behavior across animal species and the relationship of behavior with reproduction. This includes the quantitative and qualitative similarities and differences observed across a wide range of species. The physiological and environmental components which trigger a particular behavior are also studied under this field. It also aims to understand the psychological state of a domesticated or caged species and their corresponding behavior. It also explores typical behavior such as tonic immobility, imitation, hoarding, nest building, etc. This discipline has significant applications in the fields of medicine, ecology and animal training. This book traces the progress of this field and highlights some of its key concepts and applications. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, the book makes an effort in highlighting their impact as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline. It includes contributions of experts and scientists which will provide innovative insights into the field of comparative psychology.

1.458,95 kr. Comparative psychology is the scientific field that studies the mental processes and behavior of non-human animals. It also studies the phylogenetic history, adaptive significance and development of behavior. It uses many techniques to observe and understand the behavior of different species of animals such as dogs, pigeons, primates and dolphins. The main objective of comparative psychology is to establish principles of generality that focus on both proximate and ultimate causation. Research in this domain is closely related to the field of animal cognition, which studies attention, concept formation, memory, spatial cognition and time estimation in animals. This book contains some path-breaking studies in the field of comparative psychology. It elucidates new techniques and their applications in a multidisciplinary manner. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
