This volume offers a comprehensive reference to the latest research on dolphin communication and cognition, reporting on findings from both the laboratory and the field. The contributors review a wide range of topics, including vocalization, abstract reasoning abilities, imitation and learning, social cognition, echolocation, and ethical issues in working with cetaceans. The book begins by examining the dolphin brain and its evolution, the anatomy of its unique sound production and reception systems, and its sensory abilities. It next treats communication, reviewing the complexity of dolphins' vocalization, and then describes research on cognition, from both experimental and developmental perspectives. Finally, the book considers the future of dolphin research, including a series of provocative questions that remain unanswered, posed by the volume's expert contributors"--MIT CogNet. 606 $aDolphins$xBehavior 606 $aDolphins$xPsychology 606 $aAnimal communication 606 $aCognition in animals 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDolphins$xBehavior. 615 0$aDolphins$xPsychology. 615 0$aAnimal communication. 615 0$aCognition in animals. 676 $a599.53/1513 702 $aHerzing$b Denise L. 702 $aJohnson$b Christine M. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461577603321 996 $aDolphin communication and cognition$92070148 997 $aUNINA
