The evolution of chunks in sequence learning

Tosatto, L., Fagot, J., Nemeth, D., & Rey, A. (2022). The evolution of chunks in sequence learning. Cognitive Science, 46(4), e13124.   Abstract – Chunking mechanisms are central to several cognitive processes and notably to the acquisition of visuo‐motor sequences. Individuals segment sequences into chunks of items to perform visuo‐motor tasks more fluidly, rapidly, and accurately. […]

Baboons’ response speed is biased by their moods

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, […]

Cognitive control under social influence in baboons

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 […]

Age-dependant behavioral strategies in a visual search task in baboons (papio papio) and their relation to inhibitory control. 

Fagot, J., Bonté, E., & Hopkins, W. D. (2013). Age-dependant behavioral strategies in a visual search task in baboons (Papio papio) and their relation to inhibitory control. 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 […]

First- and second-order configural sensitivity for greeble stimuli in baboons.

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 […]

Baboons (papio papio) spontaneously process first- but not second-order configural relationships in faces

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 […]

Amodal completion by baboons (papio papio) : contribution of background depth cues.

Fagot, J., Barbet, I., Parron, C. & Deruelle, C. (2006). Amodal completion by baboons (Papio papio) : Contribution of background depth cues. Primates, 47, 145-1603   Abstract – Four baboons (Papio papio) were tested in a computerized two-alternative forced choice task in which partially occluded graphic stimuli were shown either on linear perspective backgrounds depicting a […]
