    An excerpt from Animal Minds Beyond Cognition to Consciousness by Donald R. Griffin, the creator of the field of cognitive ethology.  
    http://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/308650.html
    
    Extractions: "The creator of the controversial field of cognitive ethology, Donald R. Griffin has spent more than three decades researching animal cognition. In a completely revised and updated edition of his classic, Animal Minds: Beyond Cognition to Consciousness, Griffin . . . discusses his own and others' research findings including those of his critics. . . . Griffin's book will enlighten, delight and even ruffle some feathers." Inside the Animal Mind and former host and executive editor of the PBS television series Nature "It is difficult for us to imagine effectively dealing with the external world without our ability of internal representation. Yet, it has almost universally been assumed that all other animals are optimally adapted while totally lacking any such ability. Is that assumption a fallacy, or does it encapsulate our scientific inadequacy? Donald R. Griffin is a pioneering scholar who does not cede the world of some animal's inner representation as an impossible barrier. Instead, he presents it as an exciting objective scientific frontier."

    Extractions: Ethology is the study of animal behaviour. Although they have often been dubbed as "simple" creatures, penguins can elicit and demonstrate fairly complex behavioural patterns. There are three primary components to understanding the behaviour of a particular animal: its general behaviours, its aggressive behaviours and its sexual behaviours. You can start with a behaviour primer. Ethology Primer General Behaviour Aggressive Behaviour Sexual Behaviour

    http://users.capu.net/~kwelch/pp/ethology/primer.html
    
    Extractions: The behaviour of most birds is complex. Unlike the situation with human beings, anyone investigating penguin behaviour just can't go up to a penguin and ask him "How are you feeling?" It doesn't work like that. So what remains is observation and interpretation. Much of behaviour is theoretical and postulation. Some of behaviour is concrete (what will happen if you sever this nerve, etc.). So, we have to think of behaviour in non-human terms. We have to avoid assessing penguins in terms of human behaviour. They aren't like us, and they don't act like us. They perform certain acts that we are incapable of performing, and they perform others for inconsistent reasons (much like us). Behaviour (ethology, in technical terms) is often a confusing subject to ponder for the above reasons. We tend to assume that animals act like us in some manner or that for our own understanding, we try to make it seem like they do. Even the most complex non-human animals execute some genetic programs that are unhindered by though processes. As you read these next three pages, refrain from thinking about what human beings do. When you think about breaking down animal behaviour in this case penguin behaviour one should think about answering four general questions: What is the survival value of the behaviour?

52. Graduate Program In Ethology And Evolutionary Psychology

    Extractions: Contact Information The Ethology and Evolutionary Psychology (EEP) Program also offers a graduate minor in Behavioral Evolution And Development (BEAD) , with an interdisciplinary emphasis. The required core course for this minor, The Design of the Mind: Genes, Adaptation, and Behavior T he major focus of the Ethology and Evolutionary Psychology Program is research, and graduate students are expected to spend the majority of their time in its pursuit. It is not essential that new students work directly on projects currently underway, though most find it helpful to at least start this way. Invertebrate Psychology Laboratory Development of invertebrate models for both research and instructional applications in comparative psychobiology. Behavioral principles studied include orthokinesis, klinokinesis, chemotaxis, tropotaxis, phototaxis, optomotor anemotaxis, unconditioned reflexes, sequenced fixed action patterns, olfactory and acoustic communication, social dominance, habituation and sensitization, classical and instrumental conditioning, behavioral genetics and behavioral laterality. Invertebrate taxa utilized include ciliates, coelenterates, nematodes, planaria, mollusks, aquatic and terrestrial arthropods. Ongoing research into associative and nonassociative conditioning of semiochemical and bioacoustic responsiveness in insects, including the development of (a) the foraging, stinging and feeding responses to prey kairomones in parasitoid wasps, (b) the orienting, courting and mating responses to sex pheromones in moths, (c) the acoustic sexual communication and associated spatial abilities in crickets.

    Extractions: Ethology and the Web: Observing respondent behaviour in Web surveys. Andrew Jeavons Introduction The Instrument Interface Ethology and the Web Observing behaviour, ethology, can often be surprising. While the outcome of a behaviour can be the same across individuals, what different people do to achieve that outcome can vary greatly. Animals of all sorts, humans included, will often embellish a behaviour which leads to a desired out come with other, so called "superstitious" behaviours. With WAI we have an opportunity to observe the behaviour of respondents in relatively new environment. The barriers we have, the intervening technology, can both help us see what respondents do and hide what they do. This paper is an experiment in exploring what we can glean from the available data about how respondents behave during WAI. It isn't intended to be comprehensive. Data Sources Data on the number of failures (that is when the respondent terminated or left the interview without completing it) on per question basis. Data on the number of repeats (that is where the question is represented to the respondent usually because it was completed incorrectly) on per question basis.

Ethology is the study of animal behaviour with a special attention to the natural environment and physiological, evolutionary aspects. The term was coined from the French by the zoologist Isidore Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire An earlier, slightly different sense of the term, however, was proposed by John Stuart Mill in his System of Logic . He recommended the development of a new science, "ethology," whose purpose would be the explanation of individual and national differences in character, on the basis of associationistic psychology. This use of the word was never adopted, however. See also: Konrad Lorenz

    http://host.uniroma3.it/progetti/kant/field/ceth.htm
    
    Extractions: consciousness, theory of mind, and evolutionary psychology What is cognitive ethology? The simplest characterization of cognitive ethology is that it is the marriage of cognitive science and ethology. But simple characterizations of any marriage should never be trusted, and this one masks some fundamental tensions between the two partners. Cognitive science is an umbrella term for convergent approaches to the study of mind in linguistics, artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology, and, increasingly the neurosciences. Cognitive psychology emerged during the latter half of the 20th century primarily as a laboratory science. Countless thousands of undergraduate students have partially met course requirements by reporting to fluorescent-lighted, windowless rooms in the basements of campus psychology buildings, where they have been subjected to questions about everything from nonsense syllables to subliminal visual cues, all in an effort to probe the inner workings of the sophomore mind. Modern neuroscience, with the advent of fMRI is increasingly shepherding these same students into brightly-lit rooms where they can perform similar tasks while their heads are encased by large magnets. Classical ethology has, on the other hand, typically emphasized the importance of observing animals under more-or-less natural conditions, with the objective of understanding the evolution, adaptation (function), causation, and development of the species-specific behavioral repertoire (

56. Cognitive Ethology: Annotated Bibliography
    Philosophy of Cognitive ethology Annotated Bibliography by Colin Allen. 1978. Prospects for a cognitive ethology. BBS 4 527538).  
    http://host.uniroma3.it/progetti/kant/field/cethbiblio.htm
    
    Extractions: Annotated Bibliography by Colin Allen Rationale and organization of the bibliography A brief introduction to cognitive ethology can be found in the overview that accompanies this bibliography. Given the amount of indeterminacy about the boundaries of the field of cognitive ethology (discussed in the overview) there is corresponding indeterminacy about the scope of this annotated bibliography. With a few exceptions, I have decided to limit the entries to works in the philosophy of cognitive ethology, a nascent subspecialty straddling the borders of philosophy of mind, philosophy of biology, and philosophy of science. This is not to say that all the listed works are authored by professional philosophers - far from it - but works by professional scientists are generally limited to those that deal with methodological issues facing attempts to study animal cognition in natural conditions. Thus, in general, I have not included scientific papers whose primary contribution is empirical rather than theoretical, nor have I included pieces on the controversies surrounding ape language or `theory of mind' in primates which although of evolutionary interest have not generally been conducted in naturalistic settings. (Those looking for references into the broader scientific literature are referred to this unannotated bibliography Entries are arranged primarily in chronological rather than alphabetical order, except where it seemed natural to group works that form a single corpus, or to group critical articles with the items that prompted them.
