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 […]
Minier, L., Blaye, A., Maugard, A., Fagot, J., Glady, Y., Thibaut, J.P., & (2014). Rôle du contrôle exécutif dans le raisonnement par analogie chez l’enfant et le primate non humain. Psychologie Française, 59(1), 71–873 Abstract – Analogical reasoning (AR) is a cornerstone of human cognition. Two main theories have historically been proposed to account […]
Hannagan T, Ziegler JC, Dufau S, Fagot J, Grainger J (2014) Deep Learning of Orthographic Representations in Baboons. PLoS ONE 9(1) : e84843. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0084843. 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 […]
Maugard, A., Wasserman, E., A., Castro, L. & Fagot, J. (2014). Effects of training condition on the contribution of specific items to relational processing in baboons (Papio papio). Animal Cognition, 17, 911–924. Abstract – Relational processing involves learning about the relationship between or among stimuli, transcending the individual stimuli, so that abstract knowledge generalizable […]
Bonté E, Kemp C, Fagot J. Age effects on transfer index performance and executive control in baboons (Papio papio). Front Psychol. 2014 Mar 4;5:188. Abstract – Reversal performance in the transfer index (TI) task is known to improve from prosimians to apes, suggesting that this task is a marker of cognitive evolution within the […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
