The role of emotional feedback in the acquisition of culture and the transmission of knowledge in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)
REFNo: NS965ES
Overall goal - Tackle the impact of affective processes, particularly emotions, in the acquisition of cultural knowledge in wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). Ultimately, as part of a joint research, decipher the evolutionary roots of how human cultures developed to such a different extent compared to our closest relatives.
Objectives:
- Investigate longitudinally how young chimpanzees acquire knowledge in their first years of life about the environment or their social group through the emotional reactions of their closest kin (their mother).
- Investigate the material side of cultural knowledge transmission: experimentally assess the possibility of measuring the influence of emotional reactions in the mother on the exploration of novel stimuli in young chimpanzees and how this impacts their knowledge acquisition.
