Highlights
Specialty section: This article was submitted to Comparative Psychology, a section of the journal Frontiers in Psychology
What Abramson has not considered is that strictly behavioral comparative research happens frequently in psychology departments under the label “behavior analysis.”
Fostering communication and collaboration between behavior analysts, comparative cognition researchers, and traditional comparative psychologists is another way to avert the crisis of missing undergraduates in comparative psychology, both by tapping a group of undergraduates with established interests in behavior principles and by widening the base of active researchers in comparative psychology who can serve as potential supervisors to the generation of comparative psychologists
Summary
Specialty section: This article was submitted to Comparative Psychology, a section of the journal Frontiers in Psychology. What Abramson has not considered is that strictly behavioral comparative research happens frequently in psychology departments under the label “behavior analysis.” This work is of high quality, frequently relates animal research to human behavior, and is broadly compatible with comparative cognition in spite of conflicting theoretical attitudes.
