Abstract:
Following opening comments, citations are provided in several areas all with the goal of stimulating students and professionals to develop comparative psychology courses and/or incorporate comparative psychology principles and activities into existing psychology courses such as experimental psychology, and the psychology of learning. The material can be used as part of a reading list for a course in comparative psychology or as independent readings. It can also be used to shape a reasoned argument why comparative psychology should become a central part of a student’s training in psychology. Sections include books, citations on the history of comparative psychology, general issues related to comparative, teaching, and ancillary material such as websites, journals, videos and a free app for android phones that teaches students how to observe behavior.
