Animal Cognition: Time Flies When Chimps Are Having Fun
Chimpanzees, like children, actively distract themselves to cope with waiting for a desired but delayed reward. Self-control may thus be a capacity we share with our nonhuman primate relatives.

Meanin...
متن کامل3 Animal cognition and human personality
Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (RST) is based, both in terms of data and concepts, on the experimental analysis of (non-human) animal behaviour. Some workers in emotion and human personality research question its validity on this count alone. But, since Galileo and Copernicus, our world has clearly not been the centre of the wider universe. Likewise, since Darwin, biology has accepted the ess...
متن کاملHuman and animal cognition: continuity and discontinuity.
Microscopic study of the human brain has revealed neural structures, enhanced wiring, and forms of connectivity among nerve cells not found in any animal, challenging the view that the human brain is simply an enlarged chimpanzee brain. On the other hand, cognitive studies have found animals to have abilities once thought unique to the human. This suggests a disparity between brain and mind. Th...

When Descartes suggested that nonhuman animals are machines, he made formal a view widely taken for granted by most thinkers in the Western tradition. In the process, he conveniently supplied a rationale for the curious assumption that only humans have souls. (Swimming against the tide, Saint Jerome argued in the early 400s that certain animals might have small souls.) Darwin's theory of evolut...
