Not knowing what one knows: A Meaningful failure of metacognition in capuchin monkeys [PDF]
Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2018 Metacognition encompasses the processes of monitoring representational and perceptual states and controlling information-gathering behaviors. Metacognition is considered one of humans’ most sophisticated abilities, and it has been a growing area of focus

Greater tool use diversity is associated with increased terrestriality in wild capuchin monkeys.
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, 2023 Terrestriality was an essential factor in human evolution. Hominins' extensive use of the ground allowed exploring a new range of environments and their objects, including new resources and potential tool raw materials.

A comparative assessment of hand preference in captive red howler monkeys, Alouatta seniculus and yellow-breasted capuchin monkeys, Sapajus xanthosternos. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 There are two major theories that attempt to explain hand preference in non-human primates-the 'task complexity' theory and the 'postural origins' theory.

Whole-body prepulse inhibition protocol to test sensorymotor gating mechanisms in monkeys. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Prepulse inhibition (PPI) is the decrease of startle reflex amplitude when a slight stimulus is previously generated. This paradigm may provide valuable information about sensorimotor gating functionality.

Stone throwing as a sexual display in wild female bearded capuchin monkeys, Sapajus libidinosus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Capuchin monkeys (Sapajus spp.) in captive settings frequently manipulate and throw objects. In the wild, they may push or drop stones and sticks toward targets during inter- or intraspecific threat displays.

Understanding Solidity: Investigating Knowledge of a Functional Object Property in Brown Capuchin Monkeys (Sapajus apella) and Common Squirrel Monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) [PDF]
Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2020 Humans form abstract representations about the physical properties of objects, with very young infants having ‘core knowledge’ about solidity and continuity.
