This Element focuses on a question that has received much attention in the field of comparative cognition: 'Do animals reason about unobservable variables like force and mental states?' The Element shows how researchers design studies and gather evidence to address this question. Despite the many virtues of current methods, hypotheses in comparative cognition are often underdetermined by the empirical evidence. Given this, philosophers and scientists have recently called for additional behavioral constraints on theorizing in the field. The Element endorses this proposal (known as 'signature testing'), while also arguing that studies on animal minds would benefit from drawing more heavily on neuroscience and biology.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBAuthor: Marta HalinaGenre: Language & ReferenceTopic: Philosophy & Spirituality, Society & Culture, Social Sciences, Science Nature & MathBook Series: Elements in Philosophy of MindItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 4mmItem Weight: 127gRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
