Although humans have been the primary focus of intelligence researchers, scientists have also attempted to investigate animal intelligence, or more broadly, animal cognition. These researchers are interested in studying both mental ability in a particular species, and comparing abilities between species. They study various measures of problem solving, as well as mathematical and language abilities. Some challenges in this area are defining intelligence so that it means the same thing across species, and then [[operational definition|operationalizing]] a measure that accurately compares mental ability across different species and contexts.

[[Wolfgang Köhler|Wolfgang Köhler's]] pioneering research on the intelligence of apes is a classic example of research in this area. Stanley Coren's book, ''[[The Intelligence of Dogs]]'' is a notable popular book on the topic.
