Description
Animal Cognition: Fundamentals, Models, and Therapeutic Advances provides a comprehensive overview of cognitive processes in various animal species, spanning fundamental concepts, species-specific studies, and therapeutic applications. Sections cover the foundation of animal cognition, including definitions, key concepts, and an overview of cognitive abilities, such as memory, problem-solving, and learning, delve deeper into the cognitive processes in mammals, birds, and marine animals, and more, and review the latest technological advancements in studying cognition, such as neuroimaging, machine learning, and virtual reality. With a multidisciplinary approach, this volume highlights current research while identifying gaps for future exploration, and will be of interest to researchers involved in animal cognition and behavioral neuroscience.
