Fagot, J. Thompson, R.K.R. & Parron, C. (2010). How to read a picture : Lessons from nonhuman primates. PNAS, 107, 519-520 This paper proposes a three-level scenario on how animals can process pictures.
Davidoff, J., & Fagot, J. (2010). Cross-species Assessment of the Linguistic Origins of Color Categories. Comparative Cognition & Behavior Reviews, 5, 100-116 Abstract – This article considers the relation between language and categorical perception (CP) of colour. Two opposite theories are reviewed, the universalist position arguing that categories are universal with an essentially biological […]
Fagot, J. & Bonté, E. (2010). Automated testing of cognitive performance in monkeys : Use of a battery of computerized test systems by a troop of semi-free ranging baboons.

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 […]
Truppa, V., Spinozzi, G. & Fagot, J. (2009). Picture processing in Tufted Capuchin Monkeys (Cebus apella). Behavioural Processes, 82, 140-152. Abstract – Although pictures are frequently used in place of real objects to investigate various aspects of cognition in different non-human species, there is little evidence that animals treat pictorial stimuli as representations of […]
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 […]
Fagot J, Paleressompoulle D (2009). Automatic testing of cognitive performance in baboons maintained in social groups. Behav Res Methods, 41,396-404. Abstract – Laboratory procedures used to study the cognitive functions of primates traditionally have involved removal of the subjects from their living quarters to be tested singly in a remote experimental room. This article […]

Abstract – In Experiment 1, a normal adult population drawn from a remote culture (Himba) […]
Parron, C. & Fagot, J. (2008). Baboons (Papio papio) spontaneously process first- but not second-order configural relationships in faces. American Journal of Primatology, 70, 415-422 Abstract – A two-alternative forced-choice discrimination task was used to assess whether baboons (N = 7) spontaneously process qualitative (i.e., first-order) or quantitative (i.e., second-order) variations in the configural […]
