how does this curiosity manifest in children compared to our closest animal relatives, the great apes? dlvr.it/SpxKjv

In our new paper with Alex Sanchez-Amaro on #Curiosity, we compare how children and apes deal with uncertain options. Kids are more likely to explore alternatives and more willing to take risks, but apes can become more exploratory through analogical reasoning dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

#Children are more #curious to explore the unknown than great #apes, but after a glimpse of the potential rewards, apes learn to investigate uncertain options. New study by Alex Sanchez-Amaro & Federico Rossano in PLOS One. More: tinyurl.com/2ee4amrz & journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

More evidence that chimpanzees reason about different possibilities! Using a new paradigm, we found that chimpanzees prepare for alternative possible outcomes. Paper out The Royal Society doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2… Here is Okech protecting two possible targets from a competitor 1/5

Usually, I have no announcements...but today is my first day as a Lecturer in Psychology (Animal Cognition BERG, Stirling Uni) at University of Stirling! really happy to be here and very thankful to the MPI-EVA Leipzig for all the great moments!

The Taï chimpanzees have lost their greatest champion. Christophe Boesch, founder of the Taï Chimpanzee Project and Wild Chimpanzee Foundation, has passed away, age 72. His dedication to the science and protection of chimpanzees is an inspiration to all of us. He will be hugely missed.

We had an amazing seminar today led by Michael Huffman about self-medication in animals. Thank you again, Mike!

A study led by #UofStirling's Dr Alejandro Sanchez Amaro has shed new light on the behaviour of the closest living relatives of humans – #chimpanzees. Read the full story 👉 brnw.ch/21wGVDf MPI-EVA Leipzig Stirling Natural Sciences Stirling Uni Psych

We'r bringing back the ✨BRIDGING THE TECHNOLOGICAL GAP WORKSHOP✨!!! Join us in Aug MPI-EVA Leipzig to learn about cutting-edge tech innovations like eye-tracking & motion-tracking to study human & animal minds. More info and app here: eva.mpg.de/comparative-cu…

Very happy for this one with Dustin Eirdosh and Daniel Haun; I hope it is a nice read for every child you know kids.frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Humans modify their environment to grant or prevent others’ access to valuable resources (e.g., using locks). Here we show that chimpanzees can also strategically manipulate their environment to maximize their own and deny a conspecific access to food. rdcu.be/dPtgO

Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) strategically manipulate their environment to deny conspecifics access to food... See below the 2x2 design and here is the free link to the manuscript: rdcu.be/dPtgO if you want to see the findings @CARTAUCSD UC San Diego

Delighted to announce that Comparative Cognition Lab @ UC San Diego research on button trained dogs will be featured in the Netflix documentary INSIDE THE MIND OF A DOG premiering tomorrow! Also, our first empirical paper on this project will appear on August 28th! Meredith Turner UC San Diego youtube.com/watch?v=62ZAsn…
