Variation among juvenile capuchins in social influences on exploration
The exploratory or feeding activities of others might influence the timing, the place, or both, of exploratory activities among young group‐living individuals, and this influence might affect the information gained by individuals during exploration. This study examined the temporal and spatial aspects of adults' influence on the exploratory behavior of juvenile capuchins, and on the juveniles' acquisition of a novel behavior. Two experimental app…
Working‐memory capacity and the use of elaborative inferences in text comprehension
The purpose of this research was to determine if individual differences in working‐memory capacity are related to the ways readers use inferences to facilitate text comprehension. Two groups of subjects, who differed in working‐memory span, read difficult narrative passages a few sentences at a time. The subjects furnished "thinking out loud" protocols of their emerging interpretations. Idea units from the subjects' protocols were categorized wit…
Capuchin monkey ( Cebus apella ) grooms her infant's wound with tools
After an attack on her 6‐day‐old infant, a capuchin monkey manufactured, modified, and used simple tools to manipulate her infant's head wound, and applied modified plant materials to the wound. The monkey's preparation and use of plant materials were varied and skillful. Several contextual factors probably facilitated the extension of tool‐using behaviors that this female used in treating her own wounds to treating another's wound. We consider t…
