This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. To study the nature and mechanisms of social transfer of information in a cooperatively breeding species. Cooperatively breeding primates must divide effort between infant care, vigilance, group defense, and foraging. Individuals within groups engage in each of these roles. Successful coordination of within group behavior for successful infant care requires clear communication and attention to others. Does this behavioral coordination lead to social facilitation of cognitive skills as well? In cotton-top tamarins (Saguinus oedipus) we have shown that monkeys attend to vocal and visual signals to avoid a highly preferred familiar food suddenly made noxious with the addition of white pepper, providing one of the only demonstrations of social learning to avoid foods in primates. Furthermore, tamarins in the presence of their mate learn a novel task to find food significantly faster than individual learners acquire the task. Tamarins rapidly demonstrated cooperation when the simultaneous actions of two monkeys were needed to solve a task, but when tested alone, they inhibited responses suggesting an understanding of the cooperative task. A longitudinal study on the relationship between food offering, tolerated begging and infant skill level with foods that are either familiar or novel to the infant suggests that adults engage in rudimerntary "teaching" of infants about food. We discovered a novel tool use behavior in tamarins that is seen in a subset of the colony. We have demonstrated that some non-tool-using animals acquire the skill through spontaneous observation of mates. Finally, we have shown long term retention of social learning (up to 3 years). Collectively, these studies suggest an impressive ability for social learning and information transfer in Callitrichids comparable to or even beyond that of great apes. The biological and behavioral mechanisms leading to cooperative care of infants appear to be linked with cooperative cognition. This research relied on WNPRC Library and Information Services.

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子弹和调查员（PI）可能已经从其他NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他清晰的条目中代表。列出的机构适用于该中心，这不一定是调查员的机构。研究合作育种物种中信息的社会传递的性质和机制。 合作的育种灵长类动物必须在婴儿护理，警惕，团体防御和觅食之间进行努力。小组内的个人从事这些角色。成功的成功婴儿护理的团体行为的成功协调需要清晰的沟通和与他人的关注。这种行为协调是否也导致认知技能的社会促进？在棉花棉花蛋白（odipus）中，我们已经表明，猴子会喜欢声音和视觉信号，以避免添加白辣椒的高度首选熟悉的食物，这是唯一的社交学习示范之一，以避免在灵长类动物中避免食物。 此外，在伴侣面前，塔玛林学习了一项新的任务，以比单个学习者获得任务更快的速度。当需要两只猴子的同时行动来解决一项任务时，塔玛林迅速证明了合作，但是在单独测试时，它们会抑制反应，暗示对合作任务有所了解。一项关于食物供应，耐受性乞讨和婴儿技能水平与婴儿熟悉或新颖的食物之间的关系的纵向研究表明，成年人从事婴儿关于食物的鲁迪植物“教学”。我们发现了菜他蛋白中一种新颖的工具使用行为，该行为在菌落的一个子集中可以看到。我们已经证明，一些非动物的动物通过对伴侣的自发观察获得了技能。最后，我们显示了社会学习的长期保留（最多3年）。总的来说，这些研究表明，在Callitrichids中，社会学习和信息转移具有令人印象深刻的能力，可与大猿的猿类相提并论。导致婴儿合作护理的生物学和行为机制似乎与合作认知有关。这项研究依靠WNPRC库和信息服务。 期刊文章（未分配PMID）：克罗宁（K.动物行为。 69：133-142。 2005年。其他：Snowdon，C。T.动物传播的发展，K。Brown（Ed），语言和语言百科全书，第二版，第3卷，第500-503页，Elsevier。 2005。
