Quote by Edward Thorndike

There is no reasoning, no process of inference or comparison there is no thinking about things, no putting two and two together there are no ideas - the animal does not think of the box or of the food or of the act he is to perform.


There is no reasoning, no process of inference or comparison

Summary

This quote suggests that animals do not engage in complex cognitive processes. They do not reason, make inferences, compare options, or have ideas. Animals do not engage in analytical thinking or contemplate about objects, actions, or their consequences. Rather, their behavior is instinctual and driven by immediate responses to stimuli, without any form of cognitive reflection or intentional thought.
