Primate Social Cognition: Uniquely Primate, Uniquely Social, or Just Unique?
Primates undoubtedly have impressive abilities in perceiving, recognizing, manipulating, and predicting other individuals, but only great apes seem to recognize the cognitive basis of manipulative and cooperative tactics or the concept of self. None of these abilities is unique to primates. We distinguish (1) a package of quantitative advantages in social sophistication, perhaps based on more e...
متن کاملUniquely human social cognition.
Recent data identify distinct components of social cognition associated with five brain regions. In posterior temporal cortex, the extrastriate body area is associated with perceiving the form of other human bodies. A nearby region in the posterior superior temporal sulcus is involved in interpreting the motions of a human body in terms of goals. A distinct region at the temporo-parietal juncti...
متن کاملCognitive Continuity in Primate Social Cognition
What are the mechanisms enabling primates to display their complex social skills? And in particular, what makes humans different? A common view prefigures a sharp distinction between humans as mind readers and all nonhuman primates species, confined to behavior reading. This distinction is held to be the result of a discontinuity in the evolution of social cognition. We challenge this view by p...
متن کاملThe social nature of primate cognition.
The hypothesis that the enlarged brain size of the primates was selected for by social, rather than purely ecological, factors has been strongly influential in studies of primate cognition and behaviour over the past two decades. However, the Machiavellian intelligence hypothesis, also known as the social brain hypothesis, tends to emphasize certain traits and behaviours, like exploitation and ...
متن کاملPrimate Social Intelligence
A computotionol theory of primote social intelligence is proposed in which primates represent social situations internally by discrete symbol structures, called scripts. Three well-defined computational operations on scripts are sufficient to support social learning, planning, and prediction. This gives a formal, predictive model with which to analyse how primate social knowledge is acquired, a...
