Modelling Animal Behaviour Based on Interpretation of Another Animal’s Behaviour
For certain animals, the capability to interpret and anticipate on another animal’s behaviour may be crucial for survival. To this end, as is often claimed informally, an animal may apply a Theory of Mind to estimate what the other animal has on its mind. This paper uses a formal BDI-based agent model for Theory of Mind to formalise and simulate such a situation. The model uses BDI-concepts to ...
متن کاملAnimal cognition and animal behaviour
Cognitive processes such as perception, learning, memory and decision making play an important role in mate choice, foraging and many other behaviours. In this review, I summarize a few key ideas about animal cognition developed in a recent book (Shettleworth 1998, Cognition, Evolution and Behaviour) and briefly review some areas in which interdisciplinary research on animal cognition is curren...
متن کاملSpecial Section: Animal Behaviour
The spatial and temporal aspects of the geophysical environment act as prominent selection forces for the evolution of life on this planet. The spatial features of the environment open up a choice of spatial niches and the temporal aspects on the other hand provide opportunities for adopting different temporal niches. Hence, both the spatial and the temporal properties of the environment togeth...
متن کاملAnimal Behaviour: Pigtailed Police
A recent study of pigtailed macaques shows that most effective policing interventions in conflict situations are by socially powerful group-members, who sustain relatively low costs by intervening. Questions arise about the ontogenetic and phylogenetic emergence of policing individuals.
متن کاملIntroduction: Mechanisms of Animal Behaviour
This book comprises four volumes, roughly dealing with the four main problems in animal behaviour, namely the causation, development, function and evolution of behaviour. The way in which these four topics were assigned to the different volumes is pragmatic, and there is bound to be some overlap. Nevertheless, we feel that the division of the study of animal behaviour into these four questions,...
