### title

ANIMAL COGNITION

### description

With intricate cultures, impressive technology, and layered social lives, humans seem to stand apart from their animal kin.  However, humans and non-human animals share many aspects of their mental lives, and, upon closer inspection, some animals even reveal cognitive abilities far beyond the capacities of humans.  Through comparing and contrasting human and non-human cognition, learn about human psychological uniqueness and its evolutionary origins, and fundamental properties of cognitive processes in general.

#### difficulty workload

Lectures are slow-paced and mandatory quizzes are easy if students pay attention, though Ferrigno occasionally reads questions from the screen.
