We used a cooperative pulling task to examine proximate aspects of cooperation in captive brown capuchin monkeys, Cebus apella. Specifically, our goal was to determine whether capuchins can learn the contingency between their partner's participation in a task and its successful completion. We examined whether the monkeys visually monitored their partners and adjusted pulling behaviour according to their partner's presence. Results on five same-sex pairs of adults indicate that (1) elimination of visual contact between partners significantly decreased success, (2) subjects glanced at their partners significantly more in cooperative tests than in control tests in which no partner-assistance was needed, and (3) they pulled at significantly higher rates when their partner was present rather than absent. Therefore, in contrast to a previous report by Chalmeau et al. (1997, Animal Behaviour, 54, 1215-1225), cooperating capuchins do seem able to take the role of their partner into account. However, the type of task used may be an important factor affecting the level of coordination achieved. Copyright 2000 The Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour. 相似文献

Equilibrium maintenance during standing in humans was investigated with a 3-joint (ankle, knee and hip) sagittal model of
body movement. The experimental paradigm consisted of sudden perturbations of humans in quiet stance by backward displacements
of the support platform. Data analysis was performed using eigenvectors of motion equation. The results supported three conclusions.
First, independent feedback control of movements along eigenvectors (eigenmovements) can adequately describe human postural
responses to stance perturbations. This conclusion is consistent with previous observations (Alexandrov et al., 2001b) that
these same eigenmovements are also independently controlled in a feed-forward manner during voluntary upper-trunk bending.
Second, independent feedback control of each eigenmovement is sufficient to provide its stability. Third, the feedback loop
in each eigenmovement can be modeled as a linear visco-elastic spring with delay. Visco-elastic parameters and time-delay
values result from the combined contribution of passive visco-elastic mechanisms and sensory systems of different modalities 相似文献
