Neuroethological Studies of Cognitive and Perceptual Processes

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
How do bats catch insects in the dark? How do bees learn which flowers to visit? How do food-storing birds remember where their hoards are? Questions like these are addressed by neuroethology, the branch of behavioral neuroscience concerned with analyzing the neural bases of naturally occuring behaviors.

Each of the thirteen chapters gives an up-to-date overview of a particular author's research and places it within the broader context of issues about animal perception and cognition. The book as a whole exemplifies how studying species and their particular specializations can inform general issues in psychology, ethology, and neuroscience. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
