Rhesus Monkeys' Valuation of Vocalizations during a Free-Choice Task
Adaptive behavior requires that animals integrate current and past information with their decision-making. One important type of information is auditory-communication signals (i.e., species-specific vocalizations). Here, we tested how rhesus monkeys incorporate the opportunity to listen to different species-specific vocalizations into their decision-making processes. In particular, we tested ho...
متن کاملCognitive Control of Distinct Vocalizations in Rhesus Monkeys
Whether nonhuman primates can decouple their innate vocalizations from accompanied levels of arousal or specific events in the environment to achieve cognitive control over their vocal utterances has been a matter of debate for decades. We show that rhesus monkeys can be trained to elicit different call types on command in response to arbitrary visual cues. Furthermore, we report that a monkey ...
متن کاملMorphing rhesus monkey vocalizations.
The capability to systematically morph between different types of animal vocalizations will give us insights into how the features of vocal sounds are perceived by listening individuals. Following behavioral study, neurophysiological recordings in nonhuman animals, could reveal how neurons support the perception of communication signals. Signal processing algorithms are now available for creati...
متن کاملRhesus monkeys use geometric and nongeometric information during a reorientation task.
Rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulata) were subjected to a place finding task in a rectangular room perfectly homogeneous and without distinctive featural information. Results of Experiment 1 show that monkeys rely on the large-scale geometry of the room to retrieve a food reward. Experiments 2 and 3 indicate that subjects use also nongeometric information (colored wall) to reorient. Data of Experiment...
متن کاملTemporal Discounting and Inter-Temporal Choice in Rhesus Monkeys
Humans and animals are more likely to take an action leading to an immediate reward than actions with delayed rewards of similar magnitudes. Although such devaluation of delayed rewards has been almost universally described by hyperbolic discount functions, the rate of this temporal discounting varies substantially among different animal species. This might be in part due to the differences in ...
