Development of tool use in New Caledonian crows: inherited action patterns and social influences (2006, background): “…ontogeny in primates show that successful tool use is preceded by a long period of object exploration and learning, during which object-oriented behaviours become progressively more complex (Fragaszy & Adams-Curtis 1997; Inoue-Nakamura & Matsuzawa 1997; Biro et al. 2003; Lonsdorf 2005, 2006).”
Cultural differences in army ant predation by West African chimpanzees? A comparative study of microecological variables (2008, background): “In the context of termite fishing at Gombe, tool insertion length of juvenile female chimpanzees was shown to correlate with their mother’s indicating that some kind of social-learning process is involved in the acquisition of this task (Lonsdorf et al. 2004; Lonsdorf 2005).”
A comparison of bonobo and chimpanzee tool use: evidence for a female bias in the Pan lineage (2010, unknown): “In wild chimpanzees, the acquisition of tool use behaviour in infants appears to be partly socially learned from the mother (Lonsdorf 2005), suggesting that similar processes may be at work in bonobos.”
Early social development in wild bottlenose dolphins: sex differences, individual variation and maternal influence (2008, background): “Fewer studies have found sex differences in behaviour preweaning (exceptions see: primates: Berman 1982; Förster & Cords 2005; Lonsdorf 2005; ungulates: Pratt & Anderson 1979; Lee 1986; delphinids: Scott et al. 2005; Mann 2006).”
Tool-related Cognition in New Caledonian Crows (2006, background): “In primates, notably chimpanzees, there is no doubt that social learning does play a significant role in the ontogeny of object-oriented behaviours (e.g., Lonsdorf, 2005, 2006).”
