In this podcast I attempt to articulate–read “meander about”—the approach-avoidance conflict I have with studies of animal cognition. Sometimes I feel like the little boy in The Emperor’s New Clothes because my take on what these studies reveal about animal cognition is so different from that of many around me.
I don’t question that the studies reveal that animals possess cognitive ability. But what they also reveal to me is that animals possess far more cognitive skill than the conclusions of these studies grant them.
