Comparative cognition

Comparative cognition is the scientific study of how different animals think, learn, and solve problems. It involves comparing mental abilities across species to understand the evolution and diversity of cognition. Researchers investigate skills like memory, decision-making, and communication in animals such as primates, birds, and dolphins. This work helps reveal the similarities and differences in how creatures understand their world, providing insights into the nature of intelligence and the biological basis of cognition. Ultimately, comparative cognition enhances our understanding of animal behavior and the evolutionary roots of human thinking.
