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 资助的中心拨款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者 (PI) 可能已从另一个 NIH 来源获得主要资金，因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中出现。列出的机构是中心的机构，不一定是研究者的机构。研究合作繁殖物种中信息社会传递的性质和机制。 合作繁殖的灵长类动物必须在照顾婴儿、保持警惕、群体防御和觅食之间分配精力。团体中的个人扮演着这些角色。成功协调群体内行为以实现成功的婴儿护理需要清晰的沟通和对他人的关注。这种行为协调是否也会促进认知技能的社会促进？在棉顶狨猴（Saguinus oedipus）中，我们已经证明，猴子会注意声音和视觉信号，以避免一种非常喜欢的熟悉的食物，但由于添加了白胡椒而突然变得有毒，这提供了社会学习避免食物的唯一示范之一。灵长类动物。 此外，狨猴在配偶在场的情况下学习寻找食物的新任务的速度明显快于个体学习者完成任务的速度。当需要两只猴子同时行动来解决一项任务时，狨猴很快就会表现出合作，但当单独测试时，它们会抑制反应，这表明它们理解合作任务。一项关于食物供应、乞讨容忍度和婴儿处理熟悉或新奇食物的技能水平之间关系的纵向研究表明，成年人对婴儿进行有关食物的基本“教导”。我们在狨猴中发现了一种新的工具使用行为，这种行为在群体的一个子集中可见。我们已经证明，一些不使用工具的动物通过对配偶的自发观察获得了这项技能。最后，我们展示了社会学习的长期保留（长达 3 年）。总的来说，这些研究表明，卡利特里科动物的社会学习和信息传递能力令人印象深刻，可与类人猿媲美甚至超越。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。这项研究依赖于 WNPRC 图书馆和信息服务。 期刊文章（未指定 PMID）：Cronin, K.
