You might look into the work of Jean Piaget of course, but also that of the Englishmen Fredrick Bartlett (_Remembering_, 1932) and Kenneth Craik (_The Nature of Explantion_, 1943). While North America was occupied with behavioristic learning theories, these folks were setting the stage for the cognitive revolution.

Look at Chapter 15 of Hearnshaw's The Shaping of Modern Psychology (Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1987) for an excellent overview of European cognitive psychology.

Among the first European cognitive psychologists was George John Romanes (1848-1894). See his books, Mental Evolution in Animals and Mental Evolution in Man. The former would fit well in the mainstream of "animal cognition" today.
