Summary:A special issue on animal cognition and behavior is presented. Articles discuss the influence of upcoming food-pellet delivery on rats' responding for 1 percent sucrose reinforcement delivered by concurrent random-interval schedules; the influence of intertrial interval food on extinction and devaluation in chain schedules; brief flight to a familiar enclosure in response to a conditional stimulus in rats; the effects of cross-fostering on inherent sensorimotor gating deficits exhibited by rats; ordinal-list integration for symbolic, arbitrary, and analog stimuli by rhesus monkeys; delay of gratification and delay maintenance by rhesus monkeys; a Stroop-like effect in color-naming of color-word lexigrams by a chimpanzee; behavioral consistency in a changed social context in Carolina chickadees; deliberate practice in dogs; and tree thinking as a new paradigm for integrating comparative data in psychology. An introduction to the special issue is also provided.
