Cooperation and communication in great apes. - APA PsycNet It summarizes three recent experiments that have focused on how apes (Pan troglodytes, P paniscus, Pongo pygmaeus) coordinate their actions for successful cooperation and the role that communication plays in coordination success
Assessing joint commitment as a process in great apes - Cell Press Great apes exchange signals and gaze before entering and exiting joint actions Joint action structure of both ape species resembles that of humans Coordinated joint action phases indicate an underlying joint commitment
13 Cooperation and Communication in Great Apes - Oxford Academic This chapter stresses the importance of variation in experimental task design to better understand the motivational and cognitive processes underlying the interplay between cooperation and communication in the great apes
Vocal signals facilitate cooperative hunting in wild chimpanzees Cooperation and communication likely coevolved in humans However, the evolutionary roots of this interdependence remain unclear We address this issue by investigating the role of vocal signals in facilitating a group cooperative behavior in an ape species: hunting in wild chimpanzees
Investigating temporal coordination in the duet contributions of a pair . . . This study provides evidence of pair-specific vocal duets in a paired gibbon species while further reinforcing previous findings Future work should aim to investigate the pair specificity of other paired non-human primate species to identify how far-reaching this pattern is
