Excerpt from The Methods and Findings of Experiments on the Visual Discrimination of Shape by Animals
It has not been possible to include all work on the visual discrimination of shapes in the bibliography since much of this work is outside the scope of this review. The main concern is with experiments the primary purpose of which is to throw light on the discriminability of 'shapes or the properties in terms of which they are dis criminated by different species, and it is hoped that the references to such experiments are fairly complete up to the end of 1959, though some more recent papers have been included. In reviewing this body of complex and scattered work, it is certain that some errors will have been introduced: I would welcome any corrections that are offered.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate topic of shape discrimination in animals, examining how they visually classify and organize shapes they encounter. It comprehensively reviews experimental research conducted on numerous species, offering a comparative perspective on their shape recognition abilities. The author analyzes the methodologies employed in these experiments, highlighting both their strengths and limitations. By examining a range of learning situations, the book explores the factors that influence the ease or difficulty with which animals discriminate between different shapes. It also investigates the underlying dimensions and properties of shapes that animals use for classification. This book provides a valuable resource for researchers and students interested in animal cognition, perception, and the neural mechanisms involved in shape recognition. Its insights contribute to our understanding of how animals perceive and interact with their visual environment, shedding light on the cognitive processes that shape animal behavior. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
