摘要：

We consider the role of social factors in the appearance of innovative problemsolving behaviors in capuchins. Processes supporting dissemination of innovative behaviors included social enhancement of interest in the objects and area around the task and (rarely) coaction. Factors inhibiting display of innovative behaviors included restricted access and requirements for social vigilance among animals of vulnerable social status and exploitation by noninnovators of others’ behaviors. We urge caution in interpreting the increased appearance of novel behaviors in primates as evidence for imitation or facilitation and call for a more rigorous experimental investigation of social learning in primates. © 1990 S.
