Animal models of human mental functions | Date: 21st August AM | | Since studying human mental functions by psychophysiological methods requires a lot of effort, energy and money, we badly need good human and animal models. This workshop persents some attempts to create good models of such important phenomena as placebo effect, learning, vigilance and social cooperation. Animals in these models are cats, dogs, dolphins, apes, but also birds and bumblebees. | | Keywords: theory of mind, learning, cognitive ethology, behaviour |
