Marzouki, YB., Gullstrrand, J., Goujon, A. & Fagot, J. (2014). Baboons’ response speed is biased by their moods. PLOS one. July 25, 2014 Abstract – The affect-as-information hypothesis (e.g., Schwarz & Clore, 2003), predicts that the positive or negative valence of our mood differentially affects our processing of the details of the environment. However, […]
Huguet, P., Barbet, I., Belletier, C., Monteil, J.M. & Fagot, J. (2014). Cognitive Control under Social Influence in Baboons. JEP:General. Vol 143(6), Dec 2014, 2067-2073 Abstract – From cockroaches to human beings, the presence of other members of the same species typically facilitates dominant (habitual/well-learned) responses regardless of their contextual relevance. This social facilitation […]
Claidière, N., Kirby, S., Smith, K. & Fagot, J. (2014). Cultural evolution of systematically structured behavior in a non-human primate. Proceeding of the Royal Academy of Science : B. December 2014 vol. 281 no. 1797 20141541 Abstract – Culture pervades human life and is at the origin of the success of our species. A […]
Fagot, J. & Maugard, A. (2013). Analogical reasoning in baboons (Papio Papio) : Flexible encoding of the source relation depending on the target relation. Learning & Behavior, 41, 229-37. Psychonomic Society 2013 Abstract – Analogical reasoning is a cornerstone of human cognition, but the extent and limits of analogical reasoning in animals remains unclear. […]
Maugard, A., Marzouki, Y. & Fagot, J. (2013). Contribution of Working Memory Processes to Relational Matching-to-Sample Performance in Baboons (Papio papio). Journal of Comparative Psychology, 127, 4, 370 Abstract – Recent studies of monkeys and apes have shown that these animals can solve relational-matching-to-sample (RMTS) problems, suggesting basic abilities for analogical reasoning. However, doubts […]
Ziegler, JC, Dufau, S, Montant, M. Hannagan, T., Fagot, J. & Grainger, J. (2013). What Can We Learn From Humans About Orthographic Processing in Monkeys ? A Reply to Frost and Keuleers (2013). Psychological Science, 24, 1870-1871.3 We drew four conclusions from this paper. First, we inferred that monkeys use a truly orthographic rather than […]
Ziegler, JC, Hannagan, T., Dufau, S., Montant, M., Fagot, J. & Grainger, J. (2013). Transposed Letter Effects Reveal Orthographic Processing in Baboons.

Flemming, T., Thompson, R.K., & Fagot, J. (2013). Baboons, like humans, solve an analogical matching task by categorical abstraction of relations. Animal Cognition, 16, 519-524 Abstract – Reasoning by analogy is one of the most complex and highly adaptive cognitive processes in abstract thinking. For humans, analogical reasoning entails the judgment and conceptual mapping […]

Journal of Comparative Psychology, 127(2), 194–203 Abstract – A computerized visual search task was presented to 18 guinea baboons (Papio papio) ranging from 2.7 to 14.3 years of […]

Effects of freely accessible computerized test systems on the spontaneous behaviors and stress level of Guinea baboons (Papio papio). American Journal of Primatology. 76(1):56-643 This paper shows that a free access to computerized tasks reduces stress level Abstract – Fagot and Paleressompoulle [Fagot and […]
Grainger, J., Dufau, S, Montant, M, Ziegler, J.C & Fagot, J. (2012). Response to Comment on “Orthographic Processing in Baboons (Papio papio). Science ; 336, 245-248. Abstract – Bains pointed out that some of our nonwords were in fact real words and that an algorithm using only information about single letters and their positions achieves […]
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 […]
