Wild Bearded Capuchin Monkeys Crack Nuts Dexterously [PDF]
Current Biology, 2015 Dexterous tool use has been crucial in the evolution of hominid percussive technology. According to Newell, "dexterity" is the ability of an organism to make goal-directed corrections in movements to optimize effort. Dexterous movements are smooth and effective and accomplish the same goal with less energy than less dexterous movements.

La non-réciprocité d’un tiers induit la méfiance chez les singes capucins
Revue de Primatologie, 2016 Recent studies have established that some species of primates are able to detect reciprocity and non-reciprocity in the context of exchanges of objects between third parties.

Face processing limitation to own species in primates: a comparative study in brown capuchins, Tonkean macaques and humans [PDF]
, 2006 Most primates live in social groups which survival and stability depend on individuals' abilities to create strong social relationships with other group members. The existence of those groups requires to identify individuals and to assign to each of them

Intuitive probabilistic inference in capuchin monkeys
Animal Cognition, 2016 The ability to reason about probabilities has ecological relevance for many species. Recent research has shown that both preverbal infants and non-human great apes can make predictions about single-item samples randomly drawn from populations by reasoning about proportions.

Eye preferences in capuchin monkeys (Sapajus apella) [PDF]
Primates, 2016 This study explored whether capuchin monkey eye preferences differ systematically in response to stimuli of positive and negative valence. The ‘valence hypothesis’ proposes that the right hemisphere is more dominant for negative emotional processing and the left hemisphere is more dominant for positive emotional processing. Visual information from each

Object grasping and manipulation in capuchin monkeys (genera Cebus and Sapajus) [PDF]
, 2018 The abilities to perform skilled hand movements and to manipulate objects dexterously are landmarks in the evolution of primates. The study of how primates use their hands to grasp and manipulate objects in accordance with their needs sheds light on how ...

Visible spatial contiguity of social information and reward affects social learning in brown capuchins (Sapajus apella) and children (Homo sapiens) [PDF]
, 2017 Animal social learning is typically studied experimentally by the presentation of artificial foraging tasks. Although productive, results are often variable even for the same species. We present and test the hypothesis that one cause of variation is that
