A survey of primate cognition from lemurs to great apes; studied in labs, zoos, sanctuaries, and in the field.
This book provides comprehensive and up-to-date chapters from experts on the cognition of non-human primates, and describes how primate cognition is studied in labs, zoos, sanctuaries, and in the field. It analyses issues of replicability, open-access, and ethics, with strong emphasis on comparative approaches.Researchers have studied non-human primate cognition along different paths, including social cognition, planning and causal knowledge, spatial cognition and memory, and gestural communication, as well as comparative studies with humans. This volume describes how primate cognition is studied in labs, zoos, sanctuaries, and in the field, bringing together researchers examining similar issues in all of these settings and showing how each benefits from the others. Readers will discover how lab-based concepts play out in the real world of free primates. This book tackles pressing issues such as replicability, research ethics, and open science. With contributors from a broad range of comparative, cognitive, neuroscience, developmental, ecological, and ethological perspectives, the volume provides a state-of-the-art review pointing to new avenues for integrative research.
