The Animal Mind

The Animal Mind: A Textbook of Comparative Psychology is a comprehensive study of the mental processes of animals, written by Margaret Floy Washburn and published in 1908. The book explores the similarities and differences between the minds of humans and animals, with a focus on the behavior and cognitive abilities of various species. Washburn draws on a range of scientific research and experiments to support her arguments, covering topics such as instinct, perception, memory, learning, and problem-solving. She also examines the emotional lives of animals, including their capacity for love, fear, and anger. Throughout the book, Washburn emphasizes the importance of comparative psychology in understanding the evolution of the human mind, and argues that a deeper understanding of animal behavior can help us better understand our own mental processes. The Animal Mind is a seminal work in the field of comparative psychology, and remains a valuable resource for anyone 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.
