Evolution of Learning and Memory Mechanisms is an exploration of laboratory and field research on the many ways that evolution has influenced learning and memory processes, such as associative learning, social learning, and spatial, working, and episodic memory systems. This volume features research by both outstanding early-career scientists as well as familiar luminaries in the field. Learning and memory in a broad range of animals are explored, including numerous species of invertebrates (insects, worms, sea hares), as well as fish, amphibians, birds, rodents, bears, and human and nonhuman primates. Contributors discuss how the behavioral, cognitive, and neural mechanisms underlying learning and memory have been influenced by evolutionary pressures. They also draw connections between learning and memory and the specific selective factors that shaped their evolution. Evolution of Learning and Memory Mechanisms should be a valuable resource for those working in the areas of experimental and comparative psychology, comparative cognition, brainâ"behavior evolution, and animal behavior.

Industry Reviews

'I am glad to add this [book] to [my] shelves, and will be recommending it to my colleagues. I congratulate the editors on the efforts they will have put into getting these chapters together, and on helping to produce such a consistency of quality (of the science and the writing) in the contents of the chapters.' Susan D. Healy, Quarterly Review of Biology
