The animal mind a text-book of comparative psychology

"Notes that the title of this book might more appropriately, if not more concisely, have been "The Animal Mind as Deduced from Experimental Evidence." For the facts set forth in this volume are very largely the results of the experimental method in comparative psychology. The book examines a number of topics, including the following: (1) the difficulties and methods of comparative psychology, (2) the evidence of mind, (3) the mind of the simplest animals, (4) sensory discrimination: methods of investigation, (5) sensory discrimination: the chemical senses, (6) sensory discrimination: hearing, (7) sensory discrimination: vision, (8) spatially determined reactions and space perception, (9) the modification of conscious processes by individual experience, and (10) some aspects of attention."

  • ""Again the accumulation of material during a nine-year period has made necessary the rewriting of a large portion of this book. Particularly noteworthy in the last five years have been the German contributions, especially those thorough experimental studies of sensory discrimination published in the new Zeitschrift fur vergleichende Physiologie. The work of the Amsterdam laboratory of physiology is also a welcome addition to our resources. In the present edition of "The Animal Mind," the chapters dealing with sensory discriminations and with the tropism, besides incorporating the new material, have been thoroughly reorganized so as to give, it is hoped, a much clearer survey of the complex mass of data they present, and thus to make them more readable. The treatment of perception has been considerably changed, and takes account of the work of the configurationists in the field of animal psychology. The treatment of learning enters more fully into theoretical considerations than was the case in the earlier editions, and presents a new theory of the nature of the drive. A new final chapter summarizes the factors which influence the nature of the animal mind at various levels of development"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)."@en

  • ""The title of this book might more appropriately, if not more concisely, have been "The Animal Mind as Deduced from Experimental Evidence." For the facts set forth in the following pages are very largely the results of the experimental method in comparative psychology. Thus many aspects of the animal mind, to the investigation of which experiment either has not yet been applied or is perhaps not adapted, are left wholly unconsidered. This limitation of the scope of the book is a consequence of its aim to supply what I have felt to be a chief need of comparative psychology at the present time. Although the science is still in its formative stage, the mass of experimental material that has been accumulating from the researches of physiologists and psychologists is already great, and is also for the most part inaccessible to the ordinary student, being widely scattered and to a considerable extent published in journals which the average college library does not contain. While we have books on animal instincts and on the interpretation of animal behavior, we have no book which adequately presents the simple facts. The book throughout deals with comparative rather than with genetic psychology"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)."@en
