The Complexity of the Animal Mind Do animals think? This question has been debated for centuries and no clear answer has yet to be decided. By looking at television‚ comic books‚ and children’s literature it would seem that animals do think and act intelligently. The fictional characters are given human movements‚ behavior‚ and language.

In 1898‚ Edward Thorndike accentuated the strengths and weaknesses of stimulus-response connections with the introduction of the theory of learning. The premise of Thorndike’s research implied that rewards and punishment have distinct yet an equal impact on human behaviors.
