Precocious quantitative cognition in monkeys.
Basic quantitative abilities are thought to have an innate basis in humans partly because the ability to discriminate quantities emerges early in child development. If humans and nonhuman primates share this developmentally primitive foundation of quantitative reasoning, then this ability should be present early in development across species and should emerge earlier in monkeys than in humans b...
متن کاملMathematical cognition in intellectually precocious first graders.
Forty-six intellectually precocious (M age = 74 months) and 250 intellectually typical (M age = 75 months) children were administered a standardized working memory battery, speed of processing measures, and tasks that assessed skill at number line estimation and strategies used to solve simple and complex addition problems. Precocious children had an advantage over same-age peers for all compon...
متن کاملAnimal Cognition: Monkeys Recall Previously Seen Images
A recent study has found that rhesus macaques can recall newly presented shapes: this demonstration of recall in non-human primates suggests that some animals have recollection processes similar to those of humans.
متن کاملAnimal Cognition: Monkeys Pass the Mirror Test
A new study finds that rhesus monkeys display self-recognition behaviors toward a mirror after multimodal sensory-motor training. This finding closes a prior gap in the evolutionary continuity of animal cognition and opens new frontiers for exploring the neurobiological basis of self-awareness.

Social psychology has long established that the mere presence of a conspecific, be it an active co-performer (coaction effect), or a passive spectator (audience effect) changes behavior in humans. Yet, the process mediating this fundamental social influence has so far eluded us.
