Cognitive ethology is broadly defined as the evolutionary and comparative study of nonhuman animal (hereafter animal) thought processes, consciousness, beliefs, or rationality, and is an area in which research is informed by different types of investigations and explanations. After (1) a brief discussion of the agenda of cognitive ethology, in which three different views of cognitive ethology are considered as is the relationship of cognitive ethology as a science to other branches of science, I (2) argue that folk psychological explanations and empirical data both are important to cognitive ethological research and conclude that the former are not as weak and as dispensable as some claim; (3) appeal to some case studies in recent analyses of social play behavior and antipredatory behavior (vigilance against potential predators) to make the point that folk psychology works well with empirical data and to provide examples in which the cognitive ethological perspective has proven to be a good heuristic; and (4) make some suggestions for future research. Cognitive ethology is alive, has a bright future, and has much to gain from a broad interdisciplinary perspective. Comparative approaches to cognitive science are very fruitful and have much to offer.

Artificial Life and Synthetic Ethology Introduction Artificial life has been defined as ``a field of study devoted to understanding life by attempting to abstract the fundamental dynamical principles underlying biological phenomena and recreating these dynamics in other physical media - such as computers - making them accessible to new kinds of experimental manipulation and testing'' (Chris Langton; for more, see Artificial Life ONLINE from Santa Fe). Synthetic ethology is an approach to the study of animal behavior in which simple, synthetic organisms are allowed to behave and evolve in a synthetic world. Because both the organisms and their worlds are synthetic, they can be constructed for specific purposes, particularly for testing specific hypotheses.

This exciting new book sets out to show how artificial ethology, or experimentation with animal-like robots, can add a new dimension to our understanding of behavioral questions. Thematic chapters scrutinizing major areas of research in animal behavior follow introductory chapters to modelling and robotics. Each thematic exploration is illustrated with case studies written by leading researchers in the field. From robotic lobsters to robotic 'monkeys', each case study brings the text to life, and gives a detailed description of a problem, approach, and robot application. This is a comprehensive introduction to the application of robotics in animal behavior and physiology. Publication dates and prices are subject to change without notice.

Cognitive Ethology in A. Montefiore and D. Noble, eds, Goals, No-Goals and own Goals: A Debate on Goal-Directed And Intentional Behaviour , London: Unwin Hyman 1989. Cognitive Ethology: Hunting for Bargains or a Wild Goose Chase Daniel C. Dennett Center for Cognitive Studies Tufts University I. Strategies of simplification The field of Artificial Intelligence has produced so many new conceptsor at least vivid and more structured versions of old conceptsthat it would be surprising if none of them turned out to be of value to students of animal behavior. Which will be most valuable? I will resist the temptation to engage in either prophecy or salesmanship; instead of attempting to answer the question: "How might Artificial Intelligence inform the study of animal behavior?" I will concentrate on the obverse: "How might the study of animal behavior inform research in Artificial Intelligence?" I take it we all agree that in the end we want to be able to describe and explain the design and operation of animal nervous systems at many different levels, from the neurochemical to the psychological and even the phenomenological (where appropriate!), and we want to understand how and why these designs have evolved, and how and why they are modulated in the individual organisms. AI research, like all other varieties of research on this huge topic, must make drastic oversimplifications in order to make even apparent progress. There are many strategies of simplification, of which these five, while ubiquitous in all areas of mind/brain research, are particularly popular in AI:
