Reactions to novel objects in monkeys: what does it mean to be neophobic?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Primates"
DOI: 10.1007/s10329-019-00731-2
Abstract: Animals’ reactions to novel objects vary not only with zoological taxa and their ecology but also in the types of presented stimuli, the context, and individual characteristics. Behavioral reactions can vary from extremely neophobic (avoiding… read more here.

Wild Samango Monkeys, Cercopithecus mitis, Balance Risk and Opportunity to Interact with Novel Objects in Village Gardens
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "International Journal of Primatology"
DOI: 10.1007/s10764-019-00113-x
Abstract: Research suggests that wild animals in urban areas exhibit heightened behavioral flexibility when they encounter novel human-made objects, but most such studies compared responses in urban populations with those from disjunct populations in less disturbed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0305000917000368
Abstract: Abstract Speech disfluencies can guide the ways in which listeners interpret spoken language. Here, we examined whether three-year-olds, five-year-olds, and adults use filled pauses to anticipate that a speaker is likely to refer to a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/lra.2022.3174648
Abstract: Instance grasping, which aims to grasp a specific object out of clutter, is a fundamental task within robotics. However, allowing a robot to quickly learn to perform instance grasping for new, previously unseen objects remains… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tpami.2022.3144984
Abstract: Image captioning aims at automatically describing images by sentences. It often requires lots of paired image-sentence data for training. However, trained captioning models can hardly be applied to new domains in which some novel words… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/desc.12663
Abstract: The present studies examine whether and how 18-month-olds use informants' accuracy to acquire novel labels for novel objects and generalize them to a new context. In Experiment 1, two speakers made statements about the labels… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0196889
Abstract: The effects of age on neophobia and exploration are best described in birds and primates, and broader comparisons require reports from other taxa. Here we present data showing age-dependent exploration in a long-lived social species,… read more here.
