Chunking and associative learning in non-human primates

Chunking and associative learning in non-human Primates. Laure Tosatto, Joel Fagot, Dezso Nemeth, and Arnaud Rey. Proceedings of the Evolang Conference, Bruxelles, 2020

 

This paper describes the learning of visuo-motor sequences in baboons. Baboons firstly learn  small chunks that were later concatenated into larger chunks leading to increasingly compressed forms of information

Suggested readings :

  1. Human language as a (unique) combination of inherited (and shared) domain-general cognitive abilities

  2. Associative learning accounts for recursive-structure generation in crows

  3. Object-specific and relational learning in pigeons
