Theme: New paradigms for studying cognitive processes in animals - particularly symbol use and memory - have, for the first time, allowed psychologists and neuroscientists to compare higher thought processes in animals and human beings. Of special interest is the question, how does an animal think without language? This, and related questions concerning the nature of animal cognition, have defined the themes of this seminar whose members include specialists in animal and human cognition, ethology, philosophy, and neuroscience.
