  Aims to introduce the undergraduate student to the study of animal intelligence by proposing that this intelligence depends upon a number of related cognitive processes. Much of the book is then concerned with summarizing, in separate chapters, our current understanding of these processes by focusing on such topics as memory, learning, attention, problem solving and language and communication. A chapter on associative learning summarizes our understanding of the ways in which animals learn about environmental relationships.
