Summary:

First published in 1997, 'Primate Cognition' was a groundbreaking and highly successful book that set the agenda for a new field of study. Borrowing theoretical constructs and paradigms from human cognitive science and developmental psychology, it reviewed all of the empirical research existing at that time concerning both physical cognition (space and objects, tools and causality, features and categories, and quantities) as well as social cognition (social knowledge and interaction, social strategies and communication, social learning and culture, and theory of mind). Since then research on primate cognition has burgeoned, and this edition mainly focuses on research conducted after 1997. It is divided into two volumes, this volume on social cognition and one on physical cognition. Existing areas of research are updated with the latest findings.
