Capuchin Cognition
An experimental study investigating whether capuchin monkeys adjust their communicative gestures depending on the perceptual orientation of a human experimenter. Specifically, the project explores whether individuals modulate the modality of their signals (e.g., visual vs. auditory) based on whether the experimenter is facing them or not—providing insights into early forms of perspective taking and intentional communication in non-human primates.
