Order effects in transitive inference: does the presentation order of social information affect transitive inference in social animals?
Transitive inference (TI) is the ability to infer social relationships between individuals (e.g., if A < B and B < C, then A < C), and has been documented in a variety of vertebrates. Many studies of TI use the task of inferring social dominance, where a subject animal A first directly interacts with B (e.g., A subordinate to B: A < B), and then indirectly observes the interaction of B and an u...
متن کاملSocial Complexity and Transitive Inference in Corvids
The social complexity hypothesis asserts that animals living in large social groups should display enhanced cognitive abilities along predictable dimensions. To test this concept, we compared highly social pinyon jays, Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus, with relatively nonsocial western scrub-jays, Aphelocoma californica, on two complex cognitive tasks relevant to the ability to track and assess social...
متن کاملGePuTTIS: General Purpose Transitive Trust Inference System for Social Networks
Recent work has explored the idea of using trust networks to supplement ratings information in community-based information systems, including algorithms to infer missing values in the trust network. Current trust inference algorithms sometimes make undesirable inferences because they do not fully use information about distrust and sometimes make inferences based on weak support. Further, many a...
متن کاملMonkey Errors in Transitive Inference
The ability to make transitive inference, (A > B) ∧ (B > C) ` A > C, occurs in many mammal species, given adequate training. Further, errors made by monkeys are quite similar to those made by 5-year-old children. This paper presents a model that learns transitive inference by acquiring and prioritizing sets of behavior rules linked to contexts. When correctly learned, the resulting system is id...
متن کاملPrimate Errors in Transitive Inference
This paper provides a new model of primate transitive inference learning. We begin from the production-rule model of Harris and McGonigle (1994), which was previously the best model at accounting for the performance of squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) and human children trained on transitive inference (e.g. given A > B and B > C, then A > C) when presented with three items from the training ...
