Thorndike is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work explores the intellectual capabilities and behavior of various animals using experimental methods, marking a significant shift from anecdotal observations to more structured scientific inquiry in psychology. The central topic of the book revolves around how animals learn and form associations based on their experiences, as well as the experimental studies Thorndike conducted with cats, dogs, and chicks. The opening of the volume introduces the reader to the dual focus of animal psychology: understanding both the consciousness and behaviors of animals. Thorndike discusses the limitations of previous psychological studies, emphasizing the shift towards experimental approaches that assess observable behaviors rather than introspective measures of consciousness. He lays out his intention to provide a clearer understanding of associative processes in animals’ minds, asserting that these associations play a crucial role in their learning and adaptation to their environments. The section establishes the groundwork for the subsequent detailed experimental studies that follow, highlighting the necessity of rigorous methodology in uncovering the intricacies of animal intelligence.
