Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of Animal Behavior, 1911, Vol. 1 If we attempt to analyse the method by which an animal is able visually to recognize familiar objects it may well be sup posed that the impressions which it gains are either general or particular. As men recognize familiar forms and faces at a distance without definitely considering or perceiving the finer details of feature and expression, so animals by observing gross outlines and characteristic movements may draw conclusions as to the nature of the forms around them. Such generalized recognition of familiar objects may be considered, in part at least, to have resulted from an educational process. Its acqui sition is the result of long association with the objects in ques tion. Throughout this association an appreciation of certain finer distinctive differences, whether consciously or subcon sciously manifest, has been a fundamental factor in producing in the animal mind a concrete appreciation of the object's iden tity in terms of the whole. With the human mind such processes are of common occur rence. A stranger first met with is afterward recognized by the recollection of some peculiarity which has been impressed upon us. With further acquaintance we forget the peculiarity or it becomes subconscious, while recognition is based on the broader lines of general association. The systematic entomol ogist, by laborious examination of detailed structure, differen tiates between closely related species of insects hitherto unknown to him. But if he specializes upon the group, his recognition of the various familiar species forming it in time becomes almost intuitive, - he knows them by sight without consciously analysing their differential markings.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of Animal Behavior, Vol. 5 Professor Watson based his conclusions, as to the uselessness of Vision in the maze, upon the fact that normal rats trained 1n the light could run the maze as quickly in the dark; that normal rats could learn the maze in the dark and acquire as rapid speed as in the light; and that blind rats could learn the maze and run it With a speed equal to that of their normal companions. It has been shown by others that it is scarcely fair, in such a situ ation, to make speed the sole criterion of the learning process.

This book was released on 2016-11-09 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journal of Animal Behavior, 1916, Vol. 6 Finally the study of the action currents of the retina gives evidence of differential sensitivity to wave-length in day birds, Kohlrausch and Brossa obtaining characteristic types of galvanometer de ection for different wave-lengths irrespective of intensity. The correlation between action currents and color vision has not been made however. All this evidence offers good ground for the presumption of a true color vision in day birds, yet the results are in no case. Absolutely conclusive. The question of the nature of the bird's spectrum, the number of primary colors, has not been approached experimentally. Hess describes the color vision of the fowl variously, as like that of a normal man, and as like that of a man looking through a piece of orange glass. He takes the latter view because of the supposed shortening of the spectrum at the violet end. Watson's data upon the threshold of the fowl make this View untenable. Beyond the probability that the bird is capable of some sort of reaction to wave-length, no definite conclusion can be drawn from the studies reviewed here. The details of spectral sensitivity, contrast, after images, color adaptation, and the r61e of color vision in the normal activities of birds are still open problems, promising to tax objective methods to the utmost. The present paper offers further evidence for the existence of color vision in the fowl, in the form of data upon the relative stimulating effect of different wave-lengths upon the light and dark adapted eye, the ability of the fowl to react upon the basis of wave-length, and the appearance of relatively abrupt changes in the stimulating value of different parts of the spectrum. The experiments were begun in 1912, but, owing to delays incident to reorganizing the apparatus and to pressure of other work, they have progressed but slowly. The chief problem and the method of attack I owe to the suggestion of Professor J. B. Watson who has also given generously of his time in the readjustment and control of the apparatus. I am indebted.

Download or read book Foundations of Animal Behavior written by Lynne D. Houck and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1996-08 with total page 872 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with Darwin's work in the 1870s, Foundations of Animal Behavior selects the most important works from the discipline's first hundred years—forty-four classic papers—and presents them in facsimile, tracing the development of the field. These papers are classics because they either founded a line of investigation, established a basic method, or provided a new approach to an important research question. The papers are divided into six sections, each introduced by prominent researchers. Sections one and two cover the origins and history of the field and the emergence of basic methods and approaches. They provide a background for sections three through six, which focus on development and learning; neural and hormonal mechanisms of behavior; sensory processes, orientation, and communication; and the evolution of behavior. This outstanding collection will serve as the basis for undergraduate and graduate seminars and as a reference for researchers in animal behavior, whether they focus on ethology, behavioral ecology, comparative psychology, or anthropology.

Download or read book Afterlives of Affect written by Matthew C. Watson and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-27 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Afterlives of Affect Matthew C. Watson considers the life and work of artist and Mayanist scholar Linda Schele (1942–98) as a point of departure for what he calls an excitable anthropology. As part of a small collective of scholars who devised the first compelling arguments that Maya hieroglyphs were a fully grammatical writing system, Schele popularized the decipherment of hieroglyphs by developing narratives of Maya politics and religion in popular books and public workshops. In this experimental, person-centered ethnography, Watson shows how Schele’s sense of joyous discovery and affective engagement with research led her to traverse and disrupt borders between religion, science, art, life, death, and history. While acknowledging critiques of Schele’s work and the idea of discovery more generally, Watson contends that affect and wonder should lie at the heart of any reflexive anthropology. With this singular examination of Schele and the community she built around herself and her work, Watson furthers debates on more-than-human worlds, spiritualism, modernity, science studies, affect theory, and the social conditions of knowledge production.
