Effects of training condition on the contribution of specific items to relational processing in baboons (papio papio)

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 […]

Age effects on transfer index performance and executive control in baboons (papio papio)

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 […]

Object-specific and relational learning in pigeons

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 […]

Analogical reasoning in baboons (papio papio) : flexible encoding of the source relation depending on the target relation.

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. […]

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 […]

What can we learn from humans about orthographic processing in monkeys ? a reply to frost and keuleers (2013).

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 […]

Baboons, like humans, solve an analogical matching task by categorical abstraction of relations

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 […]
