Description: "Animal Research has contributed enormously to our current knowledge of human physiology and basic brain function. In recent years, however, concerns have been raised about the usefulness and validity of animal research aimed at illuminating our own behavior. This volume argues that animal studies do indeed provide valuable insights into our behavior and presents studies illustrating how researchers are trying to better understand human emotion, development, and cognition."--BOOK JACKET.

"This volume will be of interest to experiment: psychologists as well as to general psychologists who wish to better understand the applications of animal studies."--BOOK JACKET.
