Regularity extraction across species: associative learning mechanisms shared by humans and non-human primates.

Rey, M., Minier, L., Malassis, R., Bogeart, L. & Fagot, J. (2018). Regularity extraction across species: Associative learning mechanisms shared by humans and non-human primates. Topics in Cognitive Science. First published: 21 May 201. http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/tops.123433 Abstract – Extracting the regularities of our environment is a core cognitive ability in human and non‐human primates. Comparative […]

Fagot, J., Boë, L.J., Berthomier, F., Claidière, N., Malassis, R., Meguerditchian, A., Rey, A. & Montant, M. (2018). The baboon: a model for the study of language evolution. Journal of Human Evolution. 126, 39-50 Abstract – Comparative research on the origins of human language often focuses on a limited number of language-related cognitive functions […]

The temporal dynamics of regularity extraction in non-human primates

Minier, L., Fagot, J. and Rey, A. (2016), The Temporal Dynamics of Regularity Extraction in Non-Human Primates. Cogn Sci, 40: 1019-1030. https://doi.org/10.1111/cogs.12279 Abstract – Extracting the regularities of our environment is one of our core cognitive abilities. To study the fine-grained dynamics of the extraction of embedded regularities, a method combining the advantages of the […]

Behavioral assessment of combinatorial semantics in baboons (papio papio)

Medam, T. & Fagot, J. (2015). Behavioral Assessment of Combinatorial Semantics in Baboons (Papio papio). Behavioural Processes. 2016 Feb ;123:54-62. doi : 10.1016/j.beproc.2015.10.016. Epub 2015 Oct 26. Abstract – Combinatorial semantics is a core property of human language whose mechanisms remain poorly known. This study used computerized tasks with touch screens to investigate whether […]

Contribution of working memory processes to relational matching-to-sample performance in baboons (papio papio).

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 […]

Generalized relational matching by guinea baboons (papio papio) in two by two-item analogy problems

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 […]

First trial rewards promote 1-trial learning and prolonged memory in pigeon and baboon.

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 […]

Evidence for large long-term memory capacities in baboons and pigeons and its implications for learning and the evolution of cognition.
