| Summary |
"In Primate Perspectives on Behavior and Cognition, experts with diverse perspectives explore primate cognition and behavior and provide valuable guideposts for new generations of researchers. The contributors first examine commonly used research methodology and then review the groundbreaking content of recent research. Among the exciting topics are the possibility of predicting ape behavior on the basis of the results of personality tests; comparative cognition--testing emergent intelligence and learning among animals, including the teaching of toolmaking to apes; animal counting ability; experiments in measuring the pathfinding abilities of primates (both humans and apes); language ability among higher primates, including neuropsychological findings on language in apes; and understanding human intelligence, cognitive processes, and motivation through data derived from primate research. In addition to serving as a comprehensive and integrative review of a wide range of research areas, the chapters in this volume establish a research agenda for years (and careers) to come. This book will be a vital resource for researchers in comparative psychology and cognitive psychology as well as for behaviorists, neuropsychologists, biopsychologists, and developmental psychologists"--Jacket.
