CLPS 0050E - Animal Minds (formerly PSYC 0190A)

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

This freshman seminar examines what we can learn about the mind of an animal through observations and manipulations of that animal's behavior. Drawing on the work of biologists, ethologists and psychologists in the field and in the lab, we will critically evaluate the evidence that animals have minds and debate the thesis that their minds are qualitatively indistinguishable from our own. Enrollment limited to 20 first year students.
