The Animal Mind

The Animal Mind: A Textbook of Comparative Psychology is a book written by Margaret Floy Washburn and first published in 1908. The book is a comprehensive guide to comparative psychology, which is the study of the behavior and mental processes of various animal species. The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the physical and psychological differences between humans and animals, and the second part delves into the mental processes of animals, including sensation, perception, attention, memory, and learning. Washburn draws on a wide range of research from various disciplines, including physiology, neurology, and psychology, to provide a thorough and detailed examination of the animal mind. She also includes numerous examples and case studies to illustrate her points and make the material more accessible to readers. Overall, The Animal Mind is an important and influential work in the field of comparative psychology, and it remains a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in the study of animal behavior and cognition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
