SOCIAL MODIFICATION OF PRIMATE BEHAVIOR

这个子项目是利用资源的许多研究子项目之一。 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。对子项目的主要支持 子项目的首席调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括美国国立卫生研究院的其他来源。为子项目列出的总成本可能 表示该子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 不是由NCRR赠款提供给次级项目或次级项目工作人员的直接资金。 棕色卷尾猴(Cebus Apella)在他们所拥有的知识和亲社会与竞争倾向方面对他们的队友有什么反应？去年，我们发表了几篇关于人脸识别的论文(第一作者：Pokorny)，因为我们发现卷尾猴具有非常敏锐的识别能力，并且能够仅从肖像中区分小组成员和非小组成员，这对于猴子来说是第一个这样的证据。我们还发现了合作和亲社会选择的证据，特别是在允许互惠的条件下增加了这种选择。 这些项目目前正在撰写中(Suchak是第一作者)。最近的另一个项目涉及文化学习(即猴子如何相互学习以及习惯如何在一个群体中传播)，这些项目都相当成功(第一作者：Dindo)。可用的卷尾猴有30只，饲养在室内/室外的围栏里，接受过临时隔离的训练，以便进行实验。我们的研究阐明了经常被视为理所当然的基本社会认知。耶克斯灵长类中心的实验室为许多本科生和研究生提供教育服务，他们在上课的同时获得了宝贵的培训。通过他的畅销书和讲座，首席研究员走在了向更广泛的公众--包括学术界和非学术界--传播动物行为研究成果的前沿。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. How do brown capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella) react to their group mates in terms of the knowledge they have and prosocial vs. competitive tendencies? In the last year we published several papers (first author: Pokorny) on face recognition, since we found that capuchin monkeys have a very acute recognition, and are able to tell group mates from non group mates from portraits alone, which is the first such evidence for monkeys. We also found evidence for cooperation and prosocial choice, especially the increase of such choice under conditions that allow reciprocity These projects are currently being written up (Suchak as first author). Another recent projects concerns cultural learning (i.e. how monkeys learn from each other and how habits spread in a group), which have been quite successful (first author: Dindo). Available are 30 capuchin monkeys, kept in indoor/outdoor enclosures, trained for temporary separation for experiments. Our studies illuminate basic social cognition that is often taken for granted. The laboratory at the Yerkes primate Center serves the education of a great many undergraduate and graduate students, who obtain valuable training in combination with classes they take. Through his popular books and lectures, the Principal Investigator is at the forefront in communicating findings in animal behavior to a wider public, both academic and nonacademic.
