Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) display limited behavioural flexibility when faced with a changing foraging task requiring tool use
Behavioural flexibility, the ability to alter behaviour in response to environmental feedback, and to relinquish previously successful solutions to problems, is a crucial ability in allowing organisms to adapt to novel environments and environmental change; it is essential to cumulative cultural change. To explore this ability in chimpanzees, 18 individuals (Pan troglodytes) were presented with...
متن کاملCaptive chimpanzee foraging in a social setting: a test of problem solving, flexibility, and spatial discounting
In the wild, primates are selective over the routes that they take when foraging and seek out preferred or ephemeral food. Given this, we tested how a group of captive chimpanzees weighed the relative benefits and costs of foraging for food in their environment when a less-preferred food could be obtained with less effort than a more-preferred food. In this study, a social group of six zoo-hous...

چکیده پایان نامه (شامل خلاصه، اهداف، روش های اجرا و نتایج به دست آمده): کار جمع آوری گو یش های محلی در سال های اخیر شتاب امیدوار کننده ای به خود گرفته است. شاید از بارزترین اهداف جمع آوری گویش های مختلف، ثبت و ضبط آن، جلوگیری از نابودی و مهمتر از همه حل مشکلات دستوری زبان رسمی باشد. دقت در فرآیند های زبانی گویش های محلی نوع ارتباط مردم نواحی مختلف با پیرامون نشان را به ما نشان خواهد داد. از س...
Effective tool choice by chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes): Learning and flexibility
Chimpanzees are proficient tool users and have been shown to use properties of weight and length to select effective tools. Researchers have, however, neglected to investigate whether chimpanzees utilize other tool properties. This study investigated whether chimpanzees use other properties to choose effective tools, how feedback influences their ability to select effective tools, and whether o...
متن کاملSocial Network Analysis Shows Direct Evidence for Social Transmission of Tool Use in Wild Chimpanzees
Social network analysis methods have made it possible to test whether novel behaviors in animals spread through individual or social learning. To date, however, social network analysis of wild populations has been limited to static models that cannot precisely reflect the dynamics of learning, for instance, the impact of multiple observations across time. Here, we present a novel dynamic versio...
