Highlights
Specialty section: This article was submitted to Comparative Psychology, a section of the journal Frontiers in Psychology
We recognize that lack of engagement with the field stems at least in part from the following related issues neglected by Abramson; a serious lack of financial support for programs of research in comparative psychology, difficulty accessing subject populations, and changing norms regarding the ethical use of animal subjects in research
Departments must invest in resources and build collaborations with other institutions in order to provide the financial support and access to animal subjects that is required for junior scientists to build prolific programs of research
Summary
Specialty section: This article was submitted to Comparative Psychology, a section of the journal Frontiers in Psychology. We question Abramson’s concern with the integration of comparative psychology into other related fields, such as comparative cognition and evolutionary psychology.
