The article introduces an ontology for studying how animals think and presents a model of human and animal cognition based on this ontology. The model, called IDA, is a computational model derived from a software agent and focuses on the functional needs of animals. The article includes testable hypotheses and a model of decision-making in voles. It also compares the IDA model to other computational models of cognition and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the ontology and the model.
