Abstract

Animals interact with their environment in many ways during development and in the process of adapting their behavior to it. Sensory interaction with the environment is particularly crucial because effects of sensory stimuli on animal behavior are well known and there are few aspects of the physiological functioning of animals that are not affected by sensory stimuli. The close relationship between animals and their environments and between physiological and behavioral functioning in animals are always mediated through multiple effects of key sensory stimuli. Comparative psychology has traced the evolution of increasingly higher levels of psychological capacities through processes of sensory integration (Schneirla, 1949, 1962) in general treatments, and in the treatment of special areas of behavioral functioning (Beach, 1948; Nissen, 1951; Wheeler, 1928).
