Description

"

"Animal Intelligence: Experimental Studies" by Edward L. Thorndike is a classic book that explores the cognitive abilities of animals through a series of scientific experiments. Published in 1911, the book presents Thorndike's groundbreaking research and findings on animal behavior and learning.

Thorndike studied a variety of animals, including cats, dogs, and chickens, to understand how they learn through trial and error. Through his experiments, he developed the theory of "instrumental conditioning," which states that animals learn and modify their behavior based on the consequences of their actions.

The book details Thorndike's methodology and experimental setup, providing comprehensive insights into the different aspects of animal intelligence. It discusses topics such as animal perception, memory, problem-solving, and reasoning. It also delves into the similarities and differences in intelligence among different species.

Thorndike's work fundamentally changed the way scientists approached the study of animal behavior and intelligence. His book remains influential in the field of psychology and continues to be a valuable resource for researchers, animal trainers, and individuals interested in the cognitive abilities of animals.
