The Dancing Mouse: A Study in Animal Behavior is a book written by Robert M. Yerkes, a renowned psychologist and primatologist. The book is a comprehensive study of the behavior of mice, particularly their ability to learn and adapt to their environment. Yerkes presents his findings through a series of experiments conducted on mice in his laboratory. He explores topics such as the effect of different stimuli on the behavior of mice, their ability to learn and remember new tasks, and their social behavior. The book also delves into the concept of ""instinct"" in animals, and how it relates to their behavior. Yerkes argues that while instinct plays a significant role in animal behavior, it is not the only factor. He suggests that animals are capable of learning and adapting to their environment through experience and observation. Overall, The Dancing Mouse is a fascinating and insightful study of animal behavior that provides valuable insights into the workings of the animal mind. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the field of animal behavior or psychology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
