About this book
In the early 20th century, the study of animal behavior underwent a transformative shift as researchers began to employ rigorous experimental methods. "Animal Intelligence: Experimental Studies" by Edward L. Thorndike delves into the cognitive abilities of various species, challenging long-held beliefs about animal instinct and intelligence. Through systematic experimentation, Thorndike uncovers insights into learning processes and problem-solving skills that reveal the complexities of animal minds. This groundbreaking work is essential for students, psychologists, and animal behaviorists seeking to understand the nuances of intelligence beyond mere instinct. With a focus on empirical evidence, Thorndike's findings lay the groundwork for future studies in comparative psychology and animal cognition.
