Abstract
Thinking Animals: A Closed Case or an Open Debate?
Highlights
A book review on Animal thinking: contemporary issues in comparative cognition
Animal Thinking: Contemporary Issues in Comparative Cognition was born out of a meeting on animal thinking through the Ernst Strüngmann Forum
Should the phrase “animals think” be a question or a statement? Should we conclude that non-human animals have thought processes on par with humans? Comparative psychology has historically straddled the fence between defaulting to over-simplified, non-mental accounts that animals are merely stimulus-response machines to over-qualifying animal behavior with unfounded complex and highly mentalistic interpretations
Summary
A book review on Animal thinking: contemporary issues in comparative cognition Editors Menzel and Fischer proposed a Forum on comparative cognition to address key topics in the field and to clarify points of contention and highlight progress, both past and potential.
