Abstract: dents of comparative cognition, offered the following definition of cognition: “The term cognition is ordinarily taken to mean information processing in human and nonhuman central nervous systems that often leads to choices and deci-sions ” (Griffin and Speck, 2004). Clearly we can study cognition by analyzing ani-mal information processing systems and the manner in which behavioral choices and decision making are altered by expe-rience. The use of olfactory information for guiding a wide range of basic bio-logical decisions is ubiquitous in ani-mals, including humans (Gelperin, 2010).
