DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23342
Abstract: Comparative studies on tool technologies in extant primates, especially in our closest living relatives, offer a window into the evolutionary foundations of tool use in hominins. Whereas chimpanzee tool technology is well studied across populations,… read more here.

Object Manipulation and Tool Use to Access Water by Urban Robust Capuchin Monkeys (Sapajus sp.) in Southern Brazil
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "American Journal of Primatology"
DOI: 10.1002/ajp.70090
Abstract: Capuchin monkeys are known for their object manipulation skills, but little is known about that in physically impaired individuals. Several wild populations use tools primarily for foraging, but such behavior is rarely reported for drinking… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10339-017-0795-8
Abstract: This article presents the first evidence for a functional link between tool use and the processing of abstract symbols like Arabic numbers. Participants were required to perform a tool-use task after the processing of an… read more here.

Tool acceptance and acceptability: insights from a real tool use activity.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Cognitive processing"
DOI: 10.1007/s10339-021-01034-5
Abstract: The issue of tool adoption has been the subject of many investigations, which focus either on acceptability (evaluating intention to use, a priori) or acceptance (evaluating real tool use, a posteriori). There are many criteria… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10764-020-00156-5
Abstract: Tool-aided extractive foraging is an important element of the success of many dietary generalists in resource-limited ecosystems. The study of primate tool use offers insight into the possible form and function of tool use in… read more here.

Four ways of (mis-)conceiving embodiment in tool use

DOI: 10.1007/s11229-020-02960-1
Abstract: A broader conception of the user’s perceptual, cognitive, and motor capabilities considers tools as body extensions. By identifying specific tool-related motor-grounded mechanisms, the embodied approach assumes that this “extensional phenomenon” takes place not only at… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12520-016-0448-3
Abstract: We present the results of detailed microscopic examination of tanged tools from the site of Ifri n'Ammar. The rock shelter has a particularly rich and well-preserved stratigraphy that has yielded a large variety of tanged… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.actpsy.2017.09.014
Abstract: In studying human perception and performance researchers must understand how the body schema is modified to accurately represent one's capabilities when tools are used, as humans use tools that alter their capabilities frequently. The present… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.actpsy.2021.103389
Abstract: This study explores whether performing a cognitive task without using a tool (i.e., preexisting non-tool-use experience) impacts subsequent tool-use performance. Sixty participants moved an avatar within a maze in four directions (up, down, left, right).… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2017.05.015
Abstract: Tool use is widespread among animals and has been under intense study due to its prominence in human society and evolution. A lack of detailed genetic information for wild populations has perpetuated assumptions regarding associations… read more here.
