Does Knowledge of the Partner's Need Affect Food Sharing in Tufted Capuchin Monkeys
The ability to understand the internal (psychological or physiological) states of others can be adaptive in both cooperative and competitive settings. In this study, we tested whether tufted capuchin monkeys ( Sapajus spp.) altered their willingness to share part of their food with a partner in relation to having recently seen it eating. We first gave partners food (banana, carrot, or nothing) that could not be shared with the subjects, and then …
Neurodevelopment in Preterm Children at 12 Months
Background: Preterm birth is associated with increased risk for neurodevelopmental disorders. Although standardized tools such as the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development-Third Edition (BSID-III) are widely used for early developmental assessment, parent-report measures may offer complementary and cost-effective alternatives. The Developmental Profile 3 (DP-3) is a parent questionnaire with potential utility in preterm follow-up progra…
Maternal responsiveness to child receptiveness and fullness cues from 8 to 24 months of age and their relation with complementary feeding approach and language proficiency
We investigated the relationship between the complementary feeding approach (Baby-Led Weaning, Parent-Led Weaning or a mixed approach) and maternal responsiveness to child feeding cues in 166 children using mealtime observations at 8, 12, 18 and 24 months of age. We also explored whether maternally reported child linguistic proficiency was related to observed maternal responsiveness during mealtimes. Results suggest that mothers were more respons…
Approach to Complementary Feeding and Infant Language Use
Emerging research suggests that a more infant-led approach to complementary feeding may confer benefits for child language, but these findings are based on parent report studies. Using an observational approach this study examines whether different complementary feeding experiences relate to infant language exposure and language use. Fifty-eight parents recorded a typical infant mealtime in the home (mean infant age = 14 months, SD = 4.15). Obser…
Maternal Media Use and Infant Media Exposure are Associated with Developmental Outcomes at 4 and 8 Months
Objective. Early screen exposure is associated with poorer attention, inhibitory control, and language development outcomes. However, the content and context of media exposure are better predictors of outcomes than overall amount. The present study evaluated whether infants' digital media exposure and maternal digital media use were concurrently and longitudinally associated with infant development in 187 infants at 4 and 8 months. Design. Mother…
State‐dependent risky choices in primates
Economic models predict that rational decision makers' choices between a constant, “safe” option and a variable, “risky” option leading, on average, to the same payoff, should be random. However, a wealth of research has revealed that, when faced with risky decisions, both human and nonhuman animals deviate from economic rationality. According to the risk‐sensitivity theory, individuals should prefer a safe option when they are in a positive ener…
Complementary feeding approach and maternal responsiveness in 8- and 12-month-old Italian infants
In Western countries, infants are usually introduced to solids through spoon-fed puréed foods (parent-led weaning, PLW). However, an alternative approach known as "baby-led weaning" (BLW), in which infants usually participate in family meals and eat independently, is becoming increasingly popular. We investigated the relationship between the type of complementary feeding approach and maternal responsiveness to infant feeding cues in a longitudina…
Online Assessment of Motor, Cognitive, and Communicative Achievements in 4-Month-Old Infants
Remote methods for data collection allow us to quickly collect large amounts of data, offering several advantages as compared to in-lab administration. We investigated the applicability of an online assessment of motor, cognitive, and communicative development in 4-month-old infants based on several items of the Bayley Scales of Infant Development, 3rd edition (BSID-III). We chose a subset of items which were representative of the typical develop…
An infant‐led approach to complementary feeding is positively associated with language development
The timing and strategy with which parents first introduce their infants to solid foods may be an important predictor of subsequent developmental outcomes. Recent years have seen a decline in the prevalence of traditional parent-led feeding of soft, puréed food and a rise in the prevalence of infant-led complementary feeding. Although there has been some research espousing the benefits of infant-led complementary feeding for improving food fussin…
Baby-led weaning in Italy and potential implications for infant development
Baby-led weaning is an approach to complementary feeding that emphasizes an infant's ability to self-feed rather than being spoon fed, and to eat minimally-processed foods rather than puréed foods. This study aimed to investigate the variability in infant feeding practices and the possible association with developmental milestones in an Italian population. A sample of 1245 mothers of 6-12 month-old infants completed an online survey about complem…
Polymorphism of the 3′-UTR of the dopamine transporter gene (DAT) in New World monkeys
Contextualised behavioural measurements of personality differences obtained in behavioural tests and social observations in adult capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella)
Monomorphic Region of the Serotonin Transporter Promoter Gene in New World Monkeys
Genetic variation in the human serotonin system has long been studied because of its functional consequences and links to various neuropsychiatric and behavior‐related disorders. Among non‐human primates, the common marmosets ( Callithrix jacchus ) and tufted capuchins monkeys ( Cebus apella ) are becoming increasingly used as models to study the effects of genes, environments, and their interaction on physiology and complex behavior. In order to…
How Social Context, Token Value, and Time Course Affect Token Exchange in Capuchin Monkeys (Cebus apella)
Response to novel food and the role of social influences in common marmosets ( Callithrix jacchus ) and Goeldi's monkeys ( Callimico goeldii )
Neophobia, defined as showing caution toward novel features of the environment, is widespread in birds and mammals; it can be affected by ecology, early experience, and social context. In this study, we aimed to (i) investigate the response to novel food in adult common marmosets and Goeldi's monkeys and (ii) assess the role of social influences. We used an experimental paradigm employed previously with capuchin monkeys and children, in which a s…
