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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
Fagot, J. & Parron, J.(2010). Relational Matching in Baboons (Papio papio) with Reduced Grouping Requirements. Journal of Experimental Psychology : Animal Behaviour Processes, 36, 184-193 Abstract – Analogical reasoning is a corner stone of human cognition, but the phylogenetic origins of this skill are still unknown. Recent animal studies have suggested that only apes […]
Martin-Malivel, J. Mangini, M., Fagot, J. & Biederman, I (2006). Do humans and baboons use the same information when categorizing human and baboon faces ? Psychological Science, 17, 599-607 Abstract – What information is used for sorting pictures of complex stimuli into categories? We applied a reverse correlation method to reveal the visual features […]
Fagot, J., Goldstein, J, Davidoff, J. & Pickering, A. (2006). Cross species differences in colour categorisation. Psychonomic Bulletin and Review, 13, 275-280 Abstract – Berlin and Kay (1969) found systematic restrictions in the color terms of the world’s languages and were inclined to look to the primate visual system for their origin. Because the […]
