How Is Chimpanzee Self-Control Influenced by Social Setting?
Self-control is often required in natural situations involving interactions with other individuals, and personal self-control can be compromised if other individuals act impulsively. In this study, we tested self-control in pairs of chimpanzees in a variety of settings where at least one chimpanzee of each pair performed an established test for self-control in which candies accumulated one at t...
متن کاملChimpanzee Autarky
BACKGROUND Economists believe that barter is the ultimate cause of social wealth--and even much of our human culture--yet little is known about the evolution and development of such behavior. It is useful to examine the circumstances under which other species will or will not barter to more fully understand the phenomenon. Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) are an interesting test case as they are a...
متن کاملCognitive Control
The theory developed here proposes that performance in cognitive tasks involves two distinct processes: acquisition of knowledge and cognitive control over knowledge already acquired. A conceptual and analytic framework is presented which allows for the disentanglement of knowledge and control, and for the quantification of each. Evidence from studies of multiple-cue probability learning, clini...
متن کاملSequencing the Chimpanzee Genome
Sequence of the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) genome should be a high priority. The chimpanzee genome sequence will have a major impact on our understanding of human disease, human evolution, and human population genetics. We propose that the first phase of a project to obtain chimpanzee sequence consist of 3-4X whole-genome shotgun coverage, with the sequence obtained from multiple individuals ...
متن کاملChimpanzee accumulative stone throwing
The study of the archaeological remains of fossil hominins must rely on reconstructions to elucidate the behaviour that may have resulted in particular stone tools and their accumulation. Comparatively, stone tool use among living primates has illuminated behaviours that are also amenable to archaeological examination, permitting direct observations of the behaviour leading to artefacts and the...
