This special issue originally placed a Call for Papers that emphasized the importance of "Conceptual and Methodological" advances in the field of Comparative Cognition. Represented here is a collection of 14 papers that helps to display some of the diversity of ideas and approaches within this flourishing research area. The first paper in this issue, by Gazes and Lazareva (2021), discusses transitive inference learning from the perspectives of: identifying the problems of contextual variables in studying different species; whether associative processes can or cannot fully account for the behavior and, if not, what alternative representational mechanisms might be at work; and, finally, how ecological considerations may support comparative research by suggesting novel theoretical and empirical questions. The next paper, by Loy et al. (2021) investigates questions related to the complexity of learning in invertebrate species, single-celled organisms, and plants. The paper by Rawlings et al. (2021) reviews the literature on cumulative cultural evolution, primarily in nonhuman primate species, and critically evaluates the importance of identifying the essential conceptual and methodological issues in what many have deemed to be a uniquely human form of behavior. The paper by Goto and Watanabe (2021) explores whether the mouse visual system is sensitive to Gestalt principles, using operant discrimination learning tasks similar to those used previously to document Gestalt processing in chimpanzees and humans. Qadri and Cook (2021) use the innovative approach of "adaptive genetic algorithms" to assess the relative importance of different features of a stimulus in controlling organisms' discrimination learning performance. Wittek et al. (2021) introduce a novel method for studying the importance of visual accumulation processes in pigeons when information is presented to a single hemisphere at a time. The paper by Cowie et al. (2021) focuses on a misallocation model of two-step sequence learning in young children and explores from a behavioranalytic viewpoint the implications of assuming that reinforcement might be misattributed to a misremembered response at the beginning of the behavioral sequence. The paper by López-Tolsa and Pellón (2021) explores whether the opportunity to display schedule-induced drinking as an early response within a behavioral sequence might alter the accuracy of temporal control in different-length fixed-interval schedule tasks with rats. Crystal (2021) reviews the literature examining episodic memory in nonhuman species and considers a variety of criteria and methods thought to be crucial for establishing empirical evidence for episodic memory in nonhumans, in general, and rats, in particular. Vila et al. (2021) discuss the use a novel 'hide-and-seek' task in preschool age children to study episodic-like memory; their work illustrates how memory dynamics can change over time in a manner not very unlike what has been demonstrated in other nonhuman research paradigms. The paper by Krichbaum et al. (2021) discusses some of the methodological difficulties one faces in studying spatial cognition in canines. The paper by Castro et al. (2021) uses a complex categorization learning task in which different sets of display features are diagnostic, or not, of category mastery depending upon context. The paper by Vernouillet et al. (2021) explores the formation of same/different concept learning in two species of corvids (pinyon jays and California scrub jays). The final paper, by Lazarowski et al. (2021) examines the possibility of abstract same/different learning in canines using a trial-unique training matching-to-sample procedure with olfactory stimuli.

比较认知——概念和方法的进步。

本期特刊最初发出征文,强调“概念和方法论”进步在比较认知领域的重要性。这里展示的是 14 篇论文的集合,这些论文有助于展示这个蓬勃发展的研究领域内的一些想法和方法的多样性。本期的第一篇论文由 Gazes 和 Lazareva(2021 年)从以下角度讨论传递推理学习:识别研究不同物种中上下文变量的问题;关联过程是否可以完全解释行为,如果不能,可能有哪些替代表征机制在起作用;最后,生态考虑如何通过提出新的理论和经验问题来支持比较研究。Loy 等人的下一篇论文。(2021) 调查与无脊椎动物、单细胞生物和植物学习的复杂性相关的问题。罗林斯等人的论文。(2021 年)回顾了关于累积文化进化的文献,主要是在非人类灵长类物种中,并批判性地评估了在许多人认为是独特的人类行为形式中识别基本概念和方法问题的重要性。Goto 和 Watanabe(2021 年)的论文探讨了鼠标视觉系统是否对格式塔原理敏感,使用类似于以前用于记录黑猩猩和人类格式塔处理的操作性辨别学习任务。Qadri 和 Cook (2021) 使用“自适应遗传算法”的创新方法 评估刺激的不同特征在控制生物体的辨别学习表现中的相对重要性。维特克等人。(2021 年)介绍了一种新方法,用于研究鸽子视觉积累过程的重要性,当信息一次呈现给一个半球时。Cowie 等人的论文。(2021 年)专注于幼儿两步序列学习的错误分配模型,并从行为分析的角度探讨假设强化可能被错误地归因于行为序列开始时的错误记忆反应的含义。López-Tolsa 和 Pellón (2021) 的论文探讨了在行为序列中将日程诱导的饮酒作为早期反应的机会是否会改变大鼠在不同长度的固定间隔日程任务中时间控制的准确性。Crystal (2021) 回顾了研究非人类物种情景记忆的文献,并考虑了各种标准和方法,这些标准和方法被认为对于建立非人类,特别是大鼠的情景记忆的经验证据至关重要。维拉等人。(2021) 讨论在学龄前儿童中使用新颖的“捉迷藏”任务来研究情景记忆;他们的工作说明了记忆动态如何随时间变化,其方式与其他非人类研究范式中所展示的方式并无太大差异。Krichbaum 等人的论文。(2021 年)讨论了在研究犬科动物空间认知时面临的一些方法学难题。卡斯特罗等人的论文。(2021)使用复杂的分类学习任务,其中不同的显示特征集是根据上下文诊断或不诊断类别掌握的。Vernouillet 等人的论文。(2021 年)探索了两种鸦科动物(松鸦和加利福尼亚灌木松鸦)中相同/不同概念学习的形成。最后一篇论文,由 Lazarowski 等人撰写。(2021 年)使用具有嗅觉刺激的试验独特的训练与样本匹配程序检查了在犬科动物中抽象相同/不同学习的可能性。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA,保留所有权利)。(2021)使用复杂的分类学习任务,其中不同的显示特征集是根据上下文诊断或不诊断类别掌握的。Vernouillet 等人的论文。(2021 年)探索了两种鸦科动物(松鸦和加利福尼亚灌木松鸦)中相同/不同概念学习的形成。最后一篇论文,由 Lazarowski 等人撰写。(2021 年)使用具有嗅觉刺激的试验独特的训练与样本匹配程序检查了在犬科动物中抽象相同/不同学习的可能性。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA,保留所有权利)。(2021)使用复杂的分类学习任务,其中不同的显示特征集是根据上下文诊断或不诊断类别掌握的。Vernouillet 等人的论文。(2021 年)探索了两种鸦科动物(松鸦和加利福尼亚灌木松鸦)中相同/不同概念学习的形成。最后一篇论文,由 Lazarowski 等人撰写。(2021 年)使用具有嗅觉刺激的试验独特的训练与样本匹配程序检查了在犬科动物中抽象相同/不同学习的可能性。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA,保留所有权利)。(2021 年)探索了两种鸦科动物(松鸦和加利福尼亚灌木松鸦)中相同/不同概念学习的形成。最后一篇论文,由 Lazarowski 等人撰写。(2021 年)使用具有嗅觉刺激的试验独特的训练与样本匹配程序检查了在犬科动物中抽象相同/不同学习的可能性。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA,保留所有权利)。(2021 年)探索了两种鸦科动物(松鸦和加利福尼亚灌木松鸦)中相同/不同概念学习的形成。最后一篇论文,由 Lazarowski 等人撰写。(2021 年)使用具有嗅觉刺激的试验独特的训练与样本匹配程序检查了在犬科动物中抽象相同/不同学习的可能性。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA,保留所有权利)。
