By Joel FagotPosted on 1 February 2015Posted in ALDM-Usage, Baboon, Language, Memory, Statistical learning

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 […]

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

By Joel FagotPosted on 1 February 2011Posted in ALDM-Usage, Analogy, Baboon, Concept, Memory, Visual cognitionTagged relation

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.

By Joel FagotPosted on 31 January 2009Posted in Baboon, Memory, Pigeon, Visual cognition

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 […]
