This book presents a comprehensive study of the psychological development of the white rat (Rattus norvegicus), conducted by famed comparative psychologist John B. Watson. The author uses a series of laboratory experiments to compare the associative abilities of rats at different ages, from infancy to maturity, in an effort to establish a timeline for their cognitive development. Watson believed that by understanding the learning processes of animals such as rats, we can gain insights into the nature of intelligence and behavior in humans. The author's rigorous and systematic approach to the study of animal intelligence set the stage for future research in comparative psychology and helped to establish it as a legitimate scientific field. His work remains an important reference for researchers and students in the field.
