商品描述

Experts survey the latest research on dolphin communication and cognition, offering a comprehensive reference to findings in the laboratory and from the field.

Dolphin researchers have collected an impressive amount of data over the last twenty years, thanks to advances in technology for monitoring, recording, and analyzing dolphin behavior as well as increasing interest in exploring and modeling dolphins' cognitive capacities. 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.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

專家們調查了有關海豚溝通和認知的最新研究，提供了實驗室和現場發現的全面參考。

在過去二十年中，海豚研究者收集了大量的數據，這得益於監測、記錄和分析海豚行為的技術進步，以及對探索和建模海豚認知能力的日益興趣。本書提供了有關海豚溝通和認知的最新研究的全面參考，報告了來自實驗室和現場的發現。貢獻者們回顧了廣泛的主題，包括聲音發聲、抽象推理能力、模仿和學習、社會認知、回聲定位以及與鯨豚工作中的倫理問題。

本書首先檢視海豚的大腦及其演化、獨特的聲音產生和接收系統的解剖學，以及其感官能力。接著探討溝通，回顧海豚聲音發聲的複雜性，然後描述從實驗和發展的角度進行的認知研究。最後，本書考慮海豚研究的未來，包括一系列仍未解答的挑戰性問題，這些問題由本書的專家貢獻者提出。
