Do chimpanzees anticipate an object’s weight? a field experiment on the kinematics of hammer-lifting movements in the nut-cracking taï chimpanzees

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Giulia Sirianni from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Deutscher Platz, Leipzig, Germany have published the article: Do chimpanzees anticipate an objectu2019s weight? A field experiment on the kinematics of hammer-lifting movements in the nut-cracking Tau00ef chimpanzees, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
  • what: The authors proposed a new test of whether chimpanzees use internal representations (long-term force profiles) to anticipate the weight of novel objects of a known category based on their size. The study shows how cameratrap approaches can be used to detail subtle aspects of the motor planning process . . .
