Description
Comparative psychology is the scientific study of animal cognition and behavior from an evolutionary perspective.
This two-volume handbook presents the different aspects of comparative psychology - behavior, cognition, learning, and neurophysiology - in a balanced and exhaustive manner.
There are 8 chapters across the set, divided into nine parts.
History and Methods constitute the first two parts of the handbook. Key events and basic questions (and controversies) that have shaped the field as well as the methods used to make those questions empirically tractable are presented here.
The next three parts - Adaptation/Evolution, Genes/Hormones, and Neural Substrate - present the conceptual foundations for understanding the genesis of behavior and cognition both from a phylogenetic and ontogenetic perspective.
Finally, the next four parts (Behavior, Perception/Attention, Learning/Motivation, and Cognition/Emotion) are devoted to the core of comparative psychology today.

Reviews / Votes
The real potential from collaborative and cross-disciplinary thinking that comparative psychology can engender is only just beginning to be realized. This book will do much to push it forward to the benefit of both the human and nonhuman species. I thoroughly recommend this book to all, for university libraries, or your own. You will not regret it.(PsycCRITIQUES) All articles are extensively researched, detailed, well written, and thoroughly documented amp hellip . These two volumes will serve as excellent additions to general and comparative psychology collections.

Person
Josep Call, PhD, is a professor of the evolutionary origins of mind in the School of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of St. Andrews in St. Andrews, Scotland, and director and cofounder of the Wolfgang K amp ouml hler Primate Research Center in the Leipzig Zoo in Leipzig, Germany. He received his BA in 99 from the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona in Barcelona, Spain, and his MA in 995 and PhD in 997 from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. From 997 to 999, he was a lecturer at the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Liverpool in Liverpool, England. In 999, he worked as a senior scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany. A comparative psychologist specializing in primate cognition and cognitive evolution, Dr. Call's research focuses on elucidating the cognitive processes underlying technical and social problem solving in animals, with the ultimate goal of reconstructing the evolution of human and nonhuman cognition. He has published four books and more than 3 articles and book chapters on the behavior and cognition of great apes and other animals. He has been awarded the Irvine Memorial Medal and the Sheth Distinguished International Alumni Award, and has been elected a fellow of APA Division (Society for Behavioral Neuroscience and Comparative Psychology), the Cognitive Science Society, and the Royal Society of Edinburgh. He is the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Comparative Psychology and serves on the editorial board of several other academic journals.
