Grainger, J., Dufau, S, Montant, M, Ziegler, J.C & Fagot, J. (2012). Orthographic processing in baboons. Science, 336, 245-248 Abstract – Skilled readers use information about which letters are where in a word (orthographic information) in order to access the sounds and meanings of printed words. We asked whether efficient processing of orthographic information […]
Fagot, J. & Thompson, R.K.R (2011). Generalized Relational Matching by Guinea Baboons (Papio papio) in two by two-item analogy problems. Psychological Science, 22, 1304–1309 Abstract – Analogical reasoning is considered the hallmark of human reasoning, but some studies have demonstrated that language- and symbol-trained chimpanzees can also reason analogically. Despite the potential adaptive value […]
Barbet, I. & Fagot, J. (2011). Processing of contour closure by baboons. Journal of Experimental Psychology : Animal Behavior Processes, Vol. 37, 407–419 Abstract – This study investigated the Gestalt law of closure in baboons. Using a computer-controlled self-testing procedure, we trained baboons (Papio papio) to discriminate open versus closed shapes presented on a […]
Bonté, E., Flemming, T. & Fagot, J. (2011). Executive control of perceptual features and abstract relations by baboons (Papio papio). Behavioural Brain Research, 222, 176-182 Abstract – Studies of executive control often reveal significant limitations in nonhuman primate performance relative to that of humans. In the present study, 24 socially housed baboons were tested […]
Fagot, J. (2010). Une nouvelle procédure d’expérimentation comportementale favorisant l’interfaçage entre les études « Naturalistes » et « Généralistes » de la cognition du primate. Revue de Primatologie [En ligne], 2, mis en ligne le 21 February 2011 . Abstract – Le domaine d’étude de la cognition du primate est caractérisé par deux approches distinctes. […]
Parron, C. & Fagot, J. (2010). First- and second-order configural sensitivity for greeble stimuli in baboons. Learning and Behaviour, 38, 374-81 Abstract – Previous studies on nonhuman primates have shown inconsistencies in their processing of first- and second-order relational properties of facial stimuli. Using greeble stimuli sharing configural properties with faces, this study assessed […]

Behavioral Research Methods, 42, 507-516 Copyright restrictions prevent me from posting this article online, but you can request it from me below. Abstract – […]
Fagot J, Paleressompoulle D (2009). Automatic testing of cognitive performance in baboons maintained in social groups. Behav Res Methods, 41,396-404. Abstract – Laboratory procedures used to study the cognitive functions of primates traditionally have involved removal of the subjects from their living quarters to be tested singly in a remote experimental room. This article […]
