Uncloaking the magician: Contributions of comparative psychology to understanding animal training (2002)
Journal Article
Young, R. (2002). Uncloaking the magician: Contributions of comparative psychology to understanding animal training. #Journal not on list, 15(2), https://doi.org/10.46867/C47G75

The training of animals is an ancient anthropogenic process; however, it was not until the birth of comparative psychology, as a science, that the mysterious ways of the animal trainer were formally explained. In this review I will discuss the contri... Read More about Uncloaking the magician: Contributions of comparative psychology to understanding animal training.
