Does early care affect joint attention in great apes (Pan troglodytes, Pan paniscus, Pongo abelii, Pongo pygmaeus, Gorilla gorilla)?

30 Jul 2009 The ability to share attention with another is the foundation on which other theory of mind skills are formed. The quality of care received during infancy has been correlated with increased joint attention in humans. The purpose of this study was to ...

Sexual dimorphism in facial shapes and their discrimination in Japanese monkeys (Macaca fuscata).

30 Jul 2009 The authors examined the ability of Japanese monkeys (Macaca fuscata) to discriminate between sexes based on facial features. The shape and position of facial features (facial morphology) were measured to quantify the differences between sexes. The ...

Inferential reasoning and modality dependent discrimination learning in olive baboons (Papio hamadryas anubis).

30 Jul 2009 Apes use inferential reasoning by exclusion to locate food both in the visual and auditory domain. To test whether olive baboons (Papio hamadryas anubis) show similar abilities as the apes object choice experiments with differing information about ...

The disassociation of visual and acoustic conspecific cues decreases discrimination by female zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata).

30 Jul 2009 Female zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) use visual and acoustic traits for accurate recognition of male conspecifics. Evidence from video playbacks confirms that both sensory modalities are important for conspecific and species discrimination, ...

The performance of bonobos (Pan paniscus), chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), and orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) in two versions of an object-choice task.

30 Jul 2009 The object-choice task tests animals' ability to use human-given cues to find a hidden reward located in 1 of 2 (or more) containers. Great apes are generally unskillful in this task whereas other species including dogs (Canis familiaris) and goats ...

The development of caching and object permanence in Western scrub-jays (Aphelocoma californica): which emerges first?

30 Jul 2009 Recent studies on the food-caching behavior of corvids have revealed complex physical and social skills, yet little is known about the ontogeny of food caching in relation to the development of cognitive capacities. Piagetian object permanence is ...

Further analysis of perception of the standard Müller-Lyer figures in pigeons (Columba livia) and humans (Homo sapiens): effects of length of brackets.

30 Jul 2009 Nakamura, Fujita, Ushitani, & Miyata (2006) have shown that pigeons perceive the standard Müller-Lyer illusion. In this report, the authors examined effects of bracket sizes on perception of this illusion in pigeons (Columba livia) and humans (Homo ...

Moving shadows contribute to the corridor illusion in a chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes).

30 Jul 2009 Previous studies have reported that backgrounds depicting linear perspective and texture gradients influence relative size discrimination in nonhuman animals (known as the "corridor illusion"), but research has not yet identified the other kinds of ...
