Ciccione L, Dighiero-Brecht T, Claidière N, Fagot J, Dehaene S. Can non-human primates extract the linear trend from a noisy scatterplot? iScience. 2024 Dec 20;28(1):111661. doi: 10.1016/j.isci.2024.111661. PMID: 39868034; PMCID: PMC11761879. (open access) Recent studies showed that humans, regardless of age, education, and culture, can extract the linear trend of a noisy scatterplot. Although […]
Fatima-ezzahra Ennaji, Pascal Belin, Joël Fagot. Categorization of vocal and nonvocal stimuli in Guinea baboons (Papio papio). American Journal of Primatology, 2022, ff10.1002/ajp.23387ff. ffhal03661496f Abstract – Categorization of vocal sounds apart from other sounds is one of the key abilities in human voice processing, but whether this ability is present in other animals, particularly […]
Fagot, J.(2017). Analogical reasoning. In J. Vonk, T.K. Shackelford (eds.), Encyclopedia of Animal Cognition and Behavior, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-47829-6_1076-13 Abstract – Comparative studies with nonhuman animals have questioned whether language is a prerequisite for complex forms of analogical reasoning. In this chapter, we will firstly document the fact that nonhuman animals have the capacity to process […]
Fagot, Joël (2017). Orthographic processing in animals : implications for comparative psychologists. Learning and Behavior, 45(3), 209-210 Abstract – Two recent studies have shown that pigeons and baboons can discriminate written English words from nonwords, and these findings were interpreted as demonstrating that orthographic processing is possible in absence of linguistic knowledge. Here, I […]

Orthographic processing in baboon is re-analyzed with deep convolutional networks Abstract – What is the origin of our ability to learn orthographic knowledge? We use deep convolutional networks to emulate the […]
Castro, L., Wasserman, E, Fagot, J. Maugard, A. (2014). Object-specific and relational learning in pigeons. Animal Cognition. 10.1007/s10071-014-0790-83 Abstract – Relational stimulus processing requires an organism to appreciate the interrelations between or among two or more stimuli (e.g., same or different, less than or greater than). In the current study, we explored the role […]
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 […]

Psychological Science, 24, 1870-1871.3 We drew four conclusions from this paper. First, we inferred that monkeys use a truly orthographic rather than […]

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 […]
