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. The objecrtive of this study is to establish how brown capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella) react to their group mates in terms of the knowledge they have and the procosial vs. competitive tendencies. We asked the monkeys to indicate, on the basis of portraits projected on a computer screen, which belongs to their group. We asked them to share food with others based on what they know about their hunger state to see if they take the needs of others into account. Current projects are increasingly on reciprocity and the "snowdrift" game (i.e. a game theory situation in which both individuals benefit or both lose dependent on their cooperative tendencies). Our findings show a sophisticated level of face recognition (including the so-called inversion effect) and cooperative tendencies, with the most widely cited papers being those on inequity aversion, i.e. the way monkeys respond to obtaining a lesser reward than their partner for the same task. Thirty capuchin monkeys are available, kept in indoor/outdoor enclosures, trained for temporary separation for experiments. The laboratory at the Yerkes Primate Center serves as an educational tool for many undergraduate and graduate students, who obtain valuable training in combination with their classes.

该子项目是利用该技术的众多研究子项目之一 资源由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 研究者 (PI) 可能已从 NIH 的另一个来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中表示。列出的机构是 中心，不一定是研究者的机构。 本研究的目的是确定棕色卷尾猴（Cebus apella）如何根据其所拥有的知识以及亲和与竞争倾向对其群体伙伴做出反应。我们要求猴子根据电脑屏幕上投射的肖像来指出哪一个属于他们的群体。我们要求他们根据对自己饥饿状况的了解与其他人分享食物，看看他们是否考虑到其他人的需求。 当前的项目越来越多地关注互惠和“雪堆”博弈（即博弈论情况，其中两个人都受益或都输，取决于他们的合作倾向）。我们的研究结果显示了复杂的面部识别水平（包括所谓的倒置效应）和合作倾向，最广泛引用的论文是关于不平等厌恶的论文，即猴子对获得比其伴侣更少的奖励的反应方式任务。共有三十只卷尾猴，饲养在室内/室外围栏中，接受临时分离训练以进行实验。 耶基斯灵长类动物中心的实验室为许多本科生和研究生提供了教育工具，他们在课程中获得了宝贵的培训。
