This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. How do brown capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella) react to their group mates in terms of the knowledge they have and prosocial vs. competitive tendencies? In the last year we published several papers (first author: Pokorny) on face recognition, since we found that capuchin monkeys have a very acute recognition, and are able to tell group mates from non group mates from portraits alone, which is the first such evidence for monkeys. We also found evidence for cooperation and prosocial choice, especially the increase of such choice under conditions that allow reciprocity These projects are currently being written up (Suchak as first author). Another recent projects concerns cultural learning (i.e. how monkeys learn from each other and how habits spread in a group), which have been quite successful (first author: Dindo). Available are 30 capuchin monkeys, kept in indoor/outdoor enclosures, trained for temporary separation for experiments. Our studies illuminate basic social cognition that is often taken for granted. The laboratory at the Yerkes primate Center serves the education of a great many undergraduate and graduate students, who obtain valuable training in combination with classes they take. Through his popular books and lectures, the Principal Investigator is at the forefront in communicating findings in animal behavior to a wider public, both academic and nonacademic.

该子项目是利用资源的众多研究子项目之一 由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 并且子项目的首席研究员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其他 NIH 来源。 子项目可能列出的总成本 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， NCRR 赠款不直接向子项目或子项目工作人员提供资金。 棕色卷尾猴 (Cebus apella) 对同伴的知识和亲社会与竞争倾向有何反应？去年我们发表了几篇关于人脸识别的论文（第一作者：Pokorny），因为我们发现卷尾猴的识别能力非常敏锐，能够仅通过肖像来区分群体成员和非群体成员，这是第一篇猴子的证据。我们还发现了合作和亲社会选择的证据，特别是在允许互惠的条件下这种选择的增加 这些项目目前正在撰写中（Suchak 作为第一作者）。最近的另一个项目涉及文化学习（即猴子如何相互学习以及习惯如何在群体中传播），该项目非常成功（第一作者：Dindo）。现有 30 只卷尾猴，饲养在室内/室外围栏中，接受临时分离实验训练。我们的研究阐明了通常被认为是理所当然的基本社会认知。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教育服务，他们在结合所修课程的同时获得了宝贵的培训。通过他的畅销书籍和讲座，首席研究员站在向更广泛的学术界和非学术界公众传播动物行为研究结果的最前沿。
