Animal cognition and animal behaviour
Cognitive processes such as perception, learning, memory and decision making play an important role in mate choice, foraging and many other behaviours. In this review, I summarize a few key ideas about animal cognition developed in a recent book (Shettleworth 1998, Cognition, Evolution and Behaviour) and briefly review some areas in which interdisciplinary research on animal cognition is curren...
متن کاملNerve Cells and Animal Behaviour
(unicellular organisms). The author’s model is dependent on the modular nature of information encoded at each level of organization. Yet although the author mentions information modularity throughout the book, the importance of information modularity is not demonstrated emphatically enough. An instructor with this book should consider spending time with students solidifying its importance. Alto...
متن کاملAnimal Behaviour and Drug Action
From studies of the effects of drugs on a gamut of physiological regulations or upon the diseased organism, modern pharmacology has increasingly turned to investigations of drug effects on discrete biochemical systems and their intrinsic control mechanisms at the level of ultrastructure. It seems apparent that drugs also affect mechanisms and conditions through which complex behavioral systems ...
متن کاملComparing Robot and Animal Behaviour
The simulation of animal behaviour on a mobile robot is a useful undertaking for roboticists wishing to develop robots for non-predictable domains or with more generality of application than is currently possible. It can also be valuable to ethologists, as a means of testing theories of animal behaviour in a modular manner, repeatably, and with identically`naive' subjects. Not all tasks we woul...
متن کاملHow important is natural behaviour in animal farming systems?
It is often assumed and demanded that for a good welfare, farm animals should be given ‘‘the freedom to express their natural behaviour’’. This demand is problematic for at least two reasons. First, natural behaviour is difficult to delineate because of its variability and flexibility. Second, some behavioural patterns that are clearly natural are in fact detrimental to animal welfare. These in...
