Abstract
Our discussions of animal cognition were strongly influenced by the composition of our group, which ranged over a very broad spectrum from ethology to operant conditioning and cognitive psychology to social psychology. To find some common denominator in that diversity proved to be an interesting and stimulating task. What eventually emerged was a rephrasing of our initial discussion topic, and a concentration on the potential contributions that human cognitive psychology could make to the study of animal cognition.
