Abstract

The use of intentional terms in the explanation of many animals is defended. Contemporary cognitive psychology, cognitive science, and neuroscience posit mediums of representation in models of cognition. Representations are a form of content-bearing intentional states. Modular models of cognition provide a foundation for comparative psychology within the context of a representational theory of mind. ;The argument is supported with reviews of data from avian and primate research.
