Available and unavailable decoys in capuchin monkeys (Sapajus spp.) decision-making
Anim Cogn. 2024 Feb 23;27(1):3. doi: 10.1007/s10071-024-01860-y.ABSTRACTDecision-making has been observed to be systematically affected by decoys, i.e., options that should be irrelevant, either because unavailable or because manifestly inferior to other alternatives, and yet shift preferences towards their target. Decoy effects have been extensively studied both in humans and in several other species; however, evidence in non-human primates remains scant and inconclusive. To address this gap, this study investigates how choices in capuchin monkeys (Sapajus spp.) are affected by different types of decoys: asymmetrically do...

Human social buffer in goats and dogs
Anim Cogn. 2024 Feb 14;27(1):1. doi: 10.1007/s10071-024-01861-x.ABSTRACTThe primary goal of this study was to explore the social buffering effect that humans offer to goats and dogs with limited exposure to human socialization, particularly in situations involving interactions with unfamiliar humans. A total of 13 dogs and 14 goats were selected for the study, all of which had limited prior socialization with humans. Each animal was placed in a testing room with unfamiliar humans for 15 min. Three experimenters aimed to establish a comfortable environment, encouraging social interaction by offering food to the animals and ...
