Exploring individual variation in associative learning abilities through an operant conditioning task in wild baboons.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2020

Martina Claudia, Cowlishaw Guy, Carter Alecia J

Abstract excerpt

Cognitive abilities underpin many of the behavioural decisions of animals. However, we still have very little understanding of how and why cognitive abilities vary between individuals of the same species in wild populations. In this study, we assessed the associative learning abilities of wild chacma baboons (Papio ursinus) across two troops in Namibia with a simple operant conditioning task. We evaluated the...
