Description

The Dancing Mouse: A Study in Animal Behavior, written by Robert M. Yerkes, is a scientific book that explores the behavior of mice in a laboratory setting. The book is based on Yerkes' experiments with a group of mice that he trained to perform a series of complex movements, including a ""dance"" that involved standing on their hind legs and waving their front paws.Yerkes' research focuses on the ways in which the mice learn and remember these movements, and how their behavior changes over time. He also examines the role of motivation and reward in shaping their behavior, and the ways in which the mice interact with each other and with their environment.The book is organized into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the mice's behavior. Yerkes uses a combination of experimental data and personal observations to provide a detailed and engaging account of the mice's behavior, and to draw conclusions about the nature of animal learning and cognition.Overall, The Dancing Mouse is a fascinating and insightful study of animal behavior that will be of interest to anyone interested in the science of animal behavior and cognition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
