More From Edward Thorndike
- "From the lowest animals of which we can affirm intelligence up to man this type of intellect is found."
- "There is no reasoning, no process of inference or comparison; there is no thinking about things, no putting two and two together; there are no ideas – the animal does not think of the box or of the food or of the act he is to perform."
- "Human folk are as a matter of fact eager to find intelligence in animals."
