Animal Problem Solving, edited by A.J. Riopelle, confronts this fundamental question head-on, assembling a landmark collection of scientific readings that chronicles the experimental study of cognitive processes in non-human animals. Drawing from decades of landmark research, the anthology presents a rigorous survey of the field — covering maze learning, discrimination tasks, insight, and the capacity for abstract reasoning — and situates animal cognition within the broader framework of comparative psychology.\n\nRiopelle curates the work of the discipline's most influential researchers to argue that intelligence is not a uniquely human province but a continuum observable across the animal kingdom. The volume illustrates how the study of animal behaviour serves as an indispensable mirror for understanding the architecture of the mind itself. Published as part of Penguin's acclaimed Modern Psychology series, it remains an essential gateway into a field that grows ever more urgent as the boundaries between animal and human cognition continue to blur in ways science is only beginning to map.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203224314075,"sku":"2026200015591-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5eb22d11-947d-4b2a-a274-8b934207025e.png?v=1788146160","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015591-secondhand-animal-problem-solving","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
