婴儿狒狒（Papio cynocephalus anubis）住在单独的笼子里，在玩耍和获取食物时将物体和使用的工具结合在一起。狒狒在2个月大时首次组合物体，在4个月大时将物体放入容器中，并在6个月大时反复使用纸巾作为海绵。这项调查的结果表明，婴儿狒狒在出生后的第一个学期发展广泛的操纵倾向。这些数据与以下假设一致：（a）创造性重组促进了新行为模式的获得;（B）狒狒组合操作的发展与人类婴儿类似能力的发展平行。
Infant baboons (Papio cynocephalus anubis) housed in individual cages combined objects and used tools in play and food acquisition. The baboons first combined objects at age 2 months, placed objects inside a container at age 4 months, and repeatedly used paper towels as sponges at age 6 months. The results of this investigation demonstrate that infant baboons develop extensive manipulative propensities during the first postnatal semester. These data are consistent with hypotheses that (a) creative recombination facilitates the acquisition of novel behavior patterns and (b) the development of combinatorial manipulation in baboons parallels the development of analogous abilities in human infants.
