Serial visual reversal learning in captive black-handed spider monkeys, Ateles geoffroyi by Jules Dorschner, Laura Teresa Hernandez Salazar, Matthias Laska

“…Abstract Recent research suggests that socio-ecological factors such as dietary specialization and social complexity may be drivers of advanced cognitive skills among primates. Therefore, we assessed the ability of 12 black-handed spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi), a highly frugivorous platyrrhine primate with strong fission-fusion dynamics, to succeed in a serial visual reversal learning task. …”

On the state of nature and social life: thinking about humans and chimpanzees by Eliane Sebeika Rapchan

“…This analysis adopted Rousseau's theory on the “State of Nature” and “State of Society” considering modern primatology from an anthropological point of view resulting in the invention of two concepts: “nature social primate” “primate social nature” and “human cultural nature”.…”

Perception des asymétries oro-faciales par jugement humain de visages chimériques de babouin lors d'expression d'émotion by Catherine Wallez, Jacques Vauclair

“…La mesure des asymétries oro-faciales lors de la perception et de la production d’expressions faciales émotionnelles a traditionnellement été utilisée pour déterminer la spécialisation hémisphérique des émotions chez l’homme et le primate non humain. Chez l’homme, deux théories majeures ont été formulées concernant la latéralisation hémisphérique des émotions. …”

LA INTENCIONALIDAD ANTE LA EPISTEMOLOGÍA EVOLUCIONISTA by Rubén Darío Jiménez Rosado

“…Las explicaciones evolucionistas de la mente han tomado como baluarte el concepto de intencionalidad, recuperado de la obra de Brentano, para fundar una serie de disciplinas (como la Etología Cognitiva y la Cognición Primate) encargadas de su estudio experimental. En el presente trabajo, nos cuestionamos la posibilidad de naturalizar al propio Brentano y, tras una exploración de su obra psicológica, lo confrontamos con el darwinismo, para tender un puente entre psicología genética y psicología descriptiva.…”

Gibbon songs and intergroup dynamics: a community-level network analysis by Luca Morino, Andrew J J MacIntosh

“…We used data on singing and agonistic interactions among 7 groups of wild siamangs to build the first community-level network for a hylobatid (or a primate) species. We show how such perspective can allow the identification of biologically relevant patterns and the testing of predictions about various open questions in gibbon socioecology, such as the function of singing, the mechanisms of group formation and the trade-offs existing both within and between one-male and two-males groups.…”
