Course
Course 7.5 credits • KOGP13
The course introduces important aspects of the study of cognition, namely knowledge and research of species other than humans, such as primates and corvids. The potential interpretative fallacies associated with comparisons of different species are also addressed. An understanding of evolution and evolutionary processes is fundamental to the study of animal cognition so the course deals with basic evolutionary approaches to cognition.
