• Evidence from four lemur species that ringtailed lemur social cognition converges with that of haplorhine primates (2011, unknown): “Thus, socially and nonsocially derived intelligence may be difficult to tease apart experimentally (Herrmann et al. 2010).”
• Social personality traits in chimpanzees: temporal stability and structure of behaviourally assessed personality traits in three captive populations (2011, unknown): “It is tempting to speculate that individual differences in cognitive performance (Herrmann et al. 2010) may underpin the differences in positive affect also in chimpanzees.”
• Report Chimpanzee Intelligence Is Heritable (2014, unknown): “, nonsocial versus social constructs) has been validated with confirmatory factor analysis [22], but the five-construct structure has not been found and was likewise not demonstrated in this study.”
• Song repertoire size in male song sparrows correlates with detour reaching, but not with other cognitive measures (2011, background): “If so, this would suggest the existence of a general cognitive ability underlying these behaviours (Galsworthy et al. 2002, 2005; Locurto et al. 2003; Matzel et al. 2006; Herrmann et al. 2010).”
• Toward wild psychometrics: linking individual cognitive differences to fitness (2014, methodology): “, association formation, instrumental learning, transitive inference, inhibitory control, spatial memory), with tasks designed to minimize effects of experience in one task on performance in others (c.f., Matzel et al. 2003; Herrmann et al. 2010; Isden et al. 2013).”
• Mate choice for cognitive traits: a review of the evidence in nonhuman vertebrates (2011, background): “2003) and on primates and humans (Herrmann et al. 2010) did not find the expected positive correlations.”
