Abstract
Commentary: A crisis in comparative psychology: where have all the undergraduates gone?
Highlights
Specialty section: This article was submitted to Comparative Psychology, a section of the journal Frontiers in Psychology
Our authors consist of a senior researcher with 20 years of experience working in comparative psychology (MJB), an early career psychologist who just completed her doctoral program in cognitive sciences with a focus on comparative cognition (AEP), a first-year graduate student in cognitive sciences (BTJ), and an undergraduate student who has worked with multiple species of nonhuman primates in various internship positions (SEF)
We believe that students who go into other specializations are not disengaged with the field of comparative psychology, nor are the psychologists in other specializations incapable of being considered comparative psychologists, if those other specializations recognize the importance of comparative approaches
Summary
Specialty section: This article was submitted to Comparative Psychology, a section of the journal Frontiers in Psychology. MJB, for example, took courses in Learning and Behavior and Cognitive Psychology that led him to potential graduate programs in comparative psychology (primarily in areas focused on cognition or psychopharmacology).
