| | Animal cognition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The success of cognitive psychology in addressing human mental processes, from the late 1950s on, led to a re-evaluation of the research paradigm, and researchers began to address animal mental processes from the opposite direction, by taking what is known about human mental processes and looking for evidence of comparable processes in other species. | | | For most of the twentieth century, the dominant approach to animal psychology was to use experiments on intelligence in animals to uncover simple processes (such as classical conditioning and operant conditioning) that might then account for the apparently more complex intellectual abilities of human beings. | | | It has developed out of comparative psychology, but has also been strongly influenced by the approach of ethology and behavioral ecology. |

| | animal psychology - definition of animal psychology in Encyclopedia |
| | Strictly speaking, comparative psychology ought to involve the use of a comparative method, in which similar studies are carried out on animals of different species, and the results interpreted in terms of their different phylogenetic or ecological backgrounds. | | | The systematic study of disordered animal behaviour draws on research in comparative psychology, including the early work on conditioning and instrumental learning, but also on ethological studies of natural behaviour. | | | Throughout the long history of comparative psychology, repeated attempts have been made to enforce this more disciplined approach, especially since the rise of ethology in the mid twentieth century, and behavioral ecology in the 1970s gave a more solid base of knowledge against which a true comparative psychology could develop. |

| | MANY FACES: Chap. 13 Comparative Psychology & Animal Learning |
| | Behavioral work with animals is also essential for the development and testing of psychopharmacological agents, for understanding how commonly abused drugs affect behavior, and for research on the psychological effects of toxins in the environment and in food. | | | Comparative psychology and animal learning provide the behavioral technology that is the foundation for physiological investigations of brain-behavior relationships. | | | In contrast, comparative psychology was moved by the influence of ethologists to consider a broad range of behaviors and species, using a variety of experimental techniques. |

| | While Watson's rat psychology attempted to negate the mental gulf between animal and man (by treating human mentality as if it were no different from rat mentality); Yerkes attempted to close the mental gap (by bringing our understanding of the ape's mind closer to that of our own). | | | Both of the traditional approaches to comparative psychology (one stemming from Watson and the other from Yerkes) are deserving of the term "modern" because they applied measurement devises to psychological phenomena. | | | This position was made more clear in his article on use of "objective nomenclature" in comparative psychology and animal behavior (Yerkes, 1905). |

| | Behavioral psychology or behaviorism is a direct descendant of animal psychology. | | | Thorndike was the first psychologist to study animal behavior in an experimental psychology laboratory and apply the same techniques to children and youths; as one result, in 1903, he published the book Educational Psychology. | | | During the period before Wundt's ascendancy in the field, psychology was considered to be the study of the soul or mind (psyche). |

| | Psychology, according to a standard dictionary definition, is the science of mind and behavior. | | | For a major part of the twentieth century, (nonhuman) animal psychology was on a behavioristic track that explicitly denied the possibility of a science of animal mind. | | | Although Freudian ideas about subconscious beliefs and desires have infiltrated folk psychology, these do not provide reassurance for attributing mental states to nonhumans because subconscious beliefs and desires have explanatory value within a Freudian model of the mind only in the context of competition between the subconscious mind and conscious ego. |

| | Animal Psychology by Laura Knight-Jadczyk |
| | This is the psychology of the perception of the world by a two-dimensional being. | | | In reality, an animal does not think out its actions, but lives by emotions, obeying the emotion which is strongest at a given moment. | | | For the moment it was only necessary to establish the fact that the psychology of animals is very distinctive and fundamentally different from ours. |

| | Experimentation was introduced into the study of animal behavior as early as the 1870s in the work of Douglas Alexander Spalding who, among other things, systematically manipulated the visual experience of newborn chicks in order to assess the relevance of such experience to the emergence of visually guided pecking. | | | In analyzing criteria for the attribution of mind to animals, Washburn first considered and then rejected behavioral response to stimulation, presence of approach/avoidance behavior, behavioral adaptation to a goal, and mere variability of behavior. | | | '[A]ll psychic interpretation of animal behavior,' she wrote, 'must be on the analogy of human experience....Our acquaintance with the mind of animals rests upon the same basis as our acquaintance with the mind of our fellow-man; both are derived by inference from observed behavior. |

| | CISAB Careers in Animal Behavior |
| | Most animal behavior jobs exist within larger academic departments such as zoology or psychology, and animal behaviorists usually teach in related disciplines such as physiology, ecology, and herpetology. | | | The function of behavior include both the immediate effects of behavior on an animal (such as attracting a mate), and the adaptive significance of the behavior in a particular environment (such as huddling together in cold weather). | | | Although animal behavior is a growing discipline, competition for jobs in teaching and research is very keen, and job opportunities in colleges and universities are not expected to expand greatly in the foreseeable future. |

| | The Moral Animal remains an outstanding opus and one that has helped introduce a large readership to the power and efficacy of evolutionary psychology, a scientific approach to psychology that will, I believe, replace the old paradigms currently holding sway in our universities. | | | What's exciting about evolutionary psychology is that for the first time psychology has a firm scientific foundation upon which to build. | | | From discussions on male and female approaches to relationships to sibling rivalry to self-deception, The Moral Animal provides an in-depth look into how evolution can explain human interactions and what the driving motives are for their behavior in a way that allows for compassionate understanding of it. |
