Cognitive Processes in Animal Behavior

<p>Originally published in 1978 this book is a collection of chapters based on the papers read at a conference in 1976 at Dalhousie University in Halifax Nova Scotia. The title starts with an introductory essay in which a metatheoretical and philosophical approach to the problem of cognition in animals is discussed.

Problems derived from models of association are discussed; as well as work on attention memory and the processing of stimulus information; other deal with time spatial and serial organization of behaviour and concept formation.</p>
