Synopsis

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.
