Imitation in Split-Brain Monkeys
Three experienced split-brain monkeys were taught a visual pattern discrimination in one eye hemisphere. After several hundred over-learning trials, the opposite untrained eye hemisphere was allowed to observe 40 perfect trials. Subsequently, ten test trial,s in which every response was reinforced were delivered exclusively to the untrained hemisphere. Two monkeys performed perfectly while anot...
متن کاملNatural imitation induced by joint attention in Japanese monkeys.
To examine whether joint attention enables Japanese monkeys to imitate human actions, we presented an oral action and manual actions directed towards targets to three monkeys who had joint attention through communicative eye-gaze and pointing gestures and to one monkey who had incomplete joint attention and who had acquired imperative pointing but not the use of eye-gaze gestures. Two of the mo...

These facts make sense if imitation is seen as two different capacities: social mirroring, when actions are matched and have social benefits; and learning by copying, when new behavioural routines are acquired by observation.
متن کاملNeonatal imitation and early social experience predict gaze following abilities in infant monkeys.
Individuals vary in their social skills and motivation, the causes of which remain largely unknown. Here we investigated whether an individual's propensity to interact with others measured within days after birth, and differences in infants' early social environment, may predict a later social skill. Specifically, we tested whether neonatal imitation--newborns' capacity to match modelled action...
متن کاملSpontaneous Emergence, Imitation and Spread of Alternative Foraging Techniques among Groups of Vervet Monkeys
Animal social learning has become a subject of broad interest, but demonstrations of bodily imitation in animals remain rare. Based on Voelkl and Huber's study of imitation by marmosets, we tested four groups of semi-captive vervet monkeys presented with food in modified film canisters ("aethipops'). One individual was trained to take the tops off canisters in each group and demonstrated five o...
