Individual differences in great ape cognition across time and domains: stability, structure, and predictability Open
Understanding variation in cognitive abilities is critical to understanding both the evolution and development of cognition. In this study, we examined the stability, structure, and predictability of individual differences in cognitive abi…
Great ape cognition is structured by stable cognitive abilities and predicted by developmental conditions Open
Great ape cognition is used as a reference point to specify the evolutionary origins of complex cognitive abilities, including in humans. This research often assumes that great ape cognition consists of cognitive abilities (traits) that ac…
A Longitudinal Study of Great Ape Cognition: Stability, Reliability and the Influence of Individual Characteristics Open
Primate cognition research allows us to reconstruct the evolution of human cognition. However, temporal and contextual factors that induce variation in cognitive studies with great apes are poorly understood. Here we report on a longitudin…
Collaboration and Open Science Initiatives in Primate Research Open
Traditionally, primate cognition research has been conducted by independent teams on small populations of a few species. Such limited variation and small sample sizes pose problems that prevent us from reconstructing the evolutionary histo…

The Evolution of Primate Short-Term Memory Open
Short-term memory is implicated in a range of cognitive abilities and is critical for understanding primate cognitive evolution. To investigate the effects of phylogeny, ecology and sociality on short-term memory, we tested the largest and…

Old and New Approaches to Animal Cognition: There Is Not “One Cognition” Open
Using the comparative approach, researchers draw inferences about the evolution of cognition. Psychologists have postulated several hypotheses to explain why certain species are cognitively more flexible than others, and these hypotheses a…
Establishing an infrastructure for collaboration in primate cognition research Open
Inferring the evolutionary history of cognitive abilities requires large and diverse samples. However, such samples are often beyond the reach of individual researchers or institutions, and studies are often limited to small numbers of spe…
