Rhesus monkeys, Macaca mulatta, know what others can and cannot hear (2006, background): “Chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes, for example, have consistently failed to take into account what human experimenters can see when asking for food (Povinelli & Eddy 1996) and have neglected to use communicative information about another individual’s direction of gaze when searching for hidden food (Itak”
Do chimpanzees know what conspecifics know? (2001, result): “Moreover, Povinelli et al. (1994) failed to replicate these results with another group of chimpanzees; Call et al. (2000) failed to replicate them with a procedure designed to make the task easier for subjects; and Call & Tomasello (1999) also found negative results in a related but slightly…”
Chimpanzees are more skilful in competitive than in cooperative cognitive tasks (2004, background): “Tomasello et al. (1997) and Call et al. (2000) provided chimpanzees with several other types of visualegestural cues in this same paradigm and also found mostly negative results.”
Gaze following in common ravens, Corvus corax: ontogeny and habituation (2007, background): “…et al. 1998; Okamoto et al. 2002); and (3) subjects differ in their rearing history (wild-caught versus captive-reared or hand-reared animals; e.g. Call et al. 2000; Bugnyar et al. 2004), living conditions (wild versus captive animals; e.g. Anderson et al. 1995; Flombaum & Santos 2005) or…”
We don't need a microscope to explore the chimpanzee's mind (2004, background): “…are severely problematic; see Povinelli and Vonk, 2003), and a very small set of experiments, the data from which has not uniquely confirmed the presence of one psychological system over the other (e.g., Call, Agnetta, and Tomasello, 2000; Hare et al, 2000, 2001; Karin-D’Arcy and Povinelli, 2002).”
Intelligence in Corvids and Apes: A Case of Convergent Evolution? (2009, background): “Apes have difficulty using a human gaze cue to locate a food item hidden under one of two cups, although they can use an iconic marker to do so (Call et al. 1998, 2000; Barth et al. 2005; Herrmann et al. 2006).”
Why Don't Apes Point? (2006, background): “This gaze following is not an inflexible response to a stimulus, as from a certain age chimpanzees look where another individual is looking and, if they find nothing interesting on that line of sight, check back a second time and try again (Call et al. 2000).”
