| | Comparative psychology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Comparative psychology, taken in its most usual, broad sense, refers to the study of the behaviour and mental life of animals other than human beings. | | | It was confirmed as an important discipline within academic psychology by the experiments on instrumental learning of Edward L. Thorndike, and on classical conditioning by Ivan Pavlov. | | | Early comparative psychology experimented on animals to discover fundamental principles, especially of learning, that might be applicable to humans. |

| | Experimental psychology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Experimental psychology is an approach to psychology that treats it as one of the natural sciences, and therefore assumes that it is susceptible to the experimental method. | | | It is usually taken to include the study of perception, cognitive psychology, comparative psychology, the experimental analysis of behavior, and some aspects of physiological psychology. | | | With the expansion of psychology as a discipline in the latter half of the twentieth century, and the growth in the size and number of its subfields, the phrase "experimental psychology" has come to cover too broad an area to be much used. |

| | MANY FACES: Chap. 13 Comparative Psychology & Animal Learning |
| | 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. | | | Comparative psychology and animal learning provide the behavioral technology that is the foundation for physiological investigations of brain-behavior relationships. | | | Modern studies of comparative psychology focused primarily on behavioral ontogeny and immediate causation. |

| | Phylogenetic Comparison (Nissen, 1951) |
| | Comparative psychology may be defined broadly as the science concerned with similarities and differences of behavior at various phylogenetic levels. | | | The contribution that comparative psychology can make to the problems of phylogeny is a function of (1) the scope and precision of its data, (2) the adequacy of the behavioral categories under which the data are organized, and (3) the comparability of the data. | | | Its implication for comparative psychology is that in behavior also we may expect to find discontinuity -qualitative rather than merely quantitative changes- as we pass from the lower to the higher animal forms. |

| | My doctoral training specialized in comparative psychology and animal behavior, but it occurred years ago when the applications of the Theory of Evolution and the principles of ecology to animal behavior were not as well understood as they are today. | | | I teach an undergraduate course in Comparative Psychology (concepts and techniques used in the study of Animal Behavior) each fall, a subject which uses the Theory of Evolution as the central principle to explain the origin and nature of existing behaviors. | | | Psychology has studied the role of environmental factors in the elicitation and determination of behavior for many years, and recently has begun to look more closely at the role of ecological factors influencing the evolution and exhibition of various behaviors. |

| | Psychology introduces the student to the traditions, content, methodologies and results of the scientific study of behavior. | | | The student learns what systematic psychology has shown about how we perceive, learn and are motivated to think and take action; how we differ from one another; how we develop from infancy to old age; and how interpersonal factors affect our relations with each other in the home, at work and in the social order. | | | Psychology also provides the student with experience in applying psychological principles in real-world settings. |

| | Comparative psychology has traditionally been weak in its understanding and use of evolutionary theory. | | | Comparative psychologists will have little difficulty with the rejection of mental process, but the rejection of behavior requires closer attention. | | | An alternative and almost traditional view in comparative psychology has been that it is intelligence that evolves -usually implying the rise of learning in opposition to instinct. |

| | George Herbert Mead: The Problem of Comparative Psychology |
| | Such movements would all have a place in a general or comparative physiology, and the assumptions of functional psychology imply that we would also be comparing movements, which correspond at least to all our so-called psychical experience, with movements in the lower forms which would represent whatever psychical experience they may have. | | | We may then compare ourselves with other forms in terms of the act, and in so far there arises the possibility of a comparative science of intelligence which admits of whatever interpretation is possible in terms of our own psychology. | | | In physiological psychology the attempt is made to parallel so-called psychical phenomena with physiological processes. |

| | The present definition of comparative psychology in the United States seem s to be: all psychology dealing with animals that is not treated under learning, motivation, and physiological psychology; or, to state it another way, studies on animals that do not conveniently fit anywhere else. | | | This comparative psychology, emphasizing the relation of behavior to general biol ogy rather than solely to physiology, returns to that familiar in the United States during the first decades of this century (but gone with the Journal of Animal Behavior). | | | This parallels the development of American animal psychology, and it has taken place for many of the reasons that hist orically determined the ascendancy of the rat. |

| | In Psychology from the Standpoint of a Behaviorist' he addresses a number of practical human problems such as education, the development of emotional reaction and the effects of factors like alcohol or drugs on human performance. | | | He compared the learning curves of cats who had been given the opportunity of observing others escaping from a box with those who had never seen the box being solved and found no difference in their rate of learning. | | | Watson could therefore reject the notion that some mental traces of stimuli and responses needed to be retained in an animals mind until a reinforcer caused an association between them to be strengthened, which is a rather mentalistic consequence of the law of effect. |

| | 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. | | | One important corollary of this view was that scientists who wished to understand the consciousness of animals could do so, despite their inability to experience the world as animals do, by analogy to the more elementary characteristics of human consciousness. | | | In discussing the interpretation of behavioral data, Washburn placed herself squarely in the tradition of mentalistic comparative psychology. |
