Truppa, V., Spinozzi, G. & Fagot, J. (2009). Picture processing in Tufted Capuchin Monkeys (Cebus apella). Behavioural Processes, 82, 140-152. Abstract – Although pictures are frequently used in place of real objects to investigate various aspects of cognition in different non-human species, there is little evidence that animals treat pictorial stimuli as representations of […]
Cook, R. & Fagot, J. (2009). First trial rewards promote 1-trial learning and prolonged memory in pigeon and baboon. PNAS, 103, 17564-17567 Abstract – There is a long-standing debate in educational settings on the influence of positive and negative consequences on learning. Although positive rewards seem desirable from an ethical perspective, 1-trial learning has […]
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 […]

Parron, C. & Fagot, J. (2008). Baboons (Papio papio) spontaneously process first- but not second-order configural relationships in faces. American Journal of Primatology, 70, 415-422 Abstract – A two-alternative forced-choice discrimination task was used to assess whether baboons (N = 7) spontaneously process qualitative (i.e., first-order) or quantitative (i.e., second-order) variations in the configural […]

Because the […]
