Editorial Reviews

Describes the biologically determined rules that underlie human and animal behavior in two major areas: the processing of sequential information, and the processing of spatial information including navigating through space. Looks at how rules that guide behavior are acquired and used, and investigates complex behavior in species whose brains differ dramatically in size. Subjects include words as programs of mental computation, learning and the retrieval of rule-based knowledge in the song system of birds, and elementary and configural forms of memory in the honeybee. Friedrichi is a professor at the Max Planck Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience. Menzel is a professor at the Institute of Neurobiology at the Free University of Berlin. Annotation c.
