Abstract
Research on animal cognition has historically focused on the cognitive capabilities of a limited number of species through controlled laboratory studies. Animal cognition research is now broadening to study diverse taxa in their natural environments, which is facilitating insights into the fitness consequences of cognitive traits and a greater understanding of how ecological and social environments impact the expression of cognitive abilities. Many challenges remain regarding studying cognition in the wild, but recent technological advances have enabled researchers to overcome many of these challenges. Here, we highlight the technological advances leveraged for learning, social cognition, and spatial cognition field research, identify the current limitations of technology and barriers to its widespread use, and discuss promising technologies for field studies of animal cognition.
