Cognitive maps in non-human animals
Dear P.G., in a recent edit you have given Goldstein (2011) as a reference. Could you add a page number to that ref so that readers can find the according passage? Thanks, 㓟 (talk) 10:17, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Taking a look at the paper by Bennett, his critique is rather unsubstantiated (as he mainly discusses different definitions of that term) and his conclusions a bit odd, as he concludes that (1) non-human animals do have cognitive maps in the sense of representations of space, that (2) explanations with explicit reference to this term have not been excluded thus (3) the term should not be used any longer. (All in his conclusion on p. 223, http://jeb.biologists.org/content/199/1/219.full.pdf)
 * Under these circumstances, but also in general, I think that your additions would make much more sense if they were just put into the lead, or even in a new "history" section". Thanks, 㓟 (talk) 11:10, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your input, 㓟. I will add the page numbers to the reference. And I like your idea about the history section. Thanks, P. G. Nicholas (talk) 23:29, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
