Product Description
Review
"Clearly, this volume offers much that appeals to a wide ranger of potential readers. Moreover, this panarama of intriguing material is presented at a level that is accessible by both students and faculty. The only thing left at this point is to acquire a copy of this fine work." --CONTEMPORARY PSYCHOLOGY "Bennett Galef and Celia Heyes provide useful introductory chapters to each of these sections... Overall I found this book authoritative, informative, and frequently entertaining." --BIOLOGICAL JOURNAL OF THE LINNEAN SOCIETY
Product Description
The increasing realization among behaviorists and psychologists is that many animals learn by observation as members of social systems. Such settings contribute to the formation of culture. This book combines the knowledge of two groups of scientists with different backgrounds to establish a working consensus for future research. The book is divided into two major sections, with contributions by a well-known, international, and interdisciplinary team which integrates these growing areas of inquiry. It integrates the broad range of scientific approaches being used in the studies of social learning and imitation, and society and culture. It provides an introduction to this field of study as well as a starting point for the more experienced researcher; chapters which are succinct reviews of innovative discoveries and progress made during the past decade; statements of varied theoretical perspectives on controversial topics; and authoritative contributions by an international team of leading researchers.
