Solutions to a tool-use problem in a pair of Cebus apella

Abstract: Eight experiments investigated tool-use in an adult male-female pair of capuchin monkeys. Cebus apella. Both subjects used sticks to probe into a closed box in order to extract honey contained therein, and both showed appropriate choices when selecting from an array of sticks of different thickness. The male readily modified sticks which were too thick, and used such sticks to rake in appropriate honey-dipping sticks lying out of reach. Neither subject constructed and used tools from elements which could be jo… Show more

“…Apesar das diversas demonstrações da capacidade desses primatas de usarem ferramentas, existe na literatura uma divergência sobre se tal habilidade seria fruto de uma aprendizagem associativa (Visalberghi & Limongelli, 1994;Visalberghi, Fragaszy & Savage-Rumbaugh, 1995) ou se seria fruto da "compreensão" da função da ferramenta (Westergaard & Fragaszy, 1987;Anderson & Henneman, 1994;Lavalle, 1999;Visalberghi et al, 2009). …”

“…Em casos em que se observa alguma destas formas de generalização da aprendizagem torna-se mais difícil sustentar que a resolução de um problema se dá por uma associação entre estímulos, uma vez que as situações subseqüentes à de treino são compostas por estímulos diferentes dos presentes na primeira situação (Anderson & Henneman, 1994;Tokida, Tanaka, Takefushi & Hagiwara, 1994;Fujita, Kuroshima e Asai, 2003).…”

“…Anderson and Henneman (1995) tested the ability of two adult capuchin monkeys to anticipate (and solve) a variety of problems associated with using a stick to extract honey from a box with multiple holes. In a series of experiments of increasing complexity, subjects were required to select a stick Diagram of the experimental conditions used by Visalberghi and colleagues to test the understanding of causality in capuchin monkeys and chimpanzees.…”
