In a series of experiments we tested whether non-human primates can reason about the likelihood of a particular food item being drawn from two mixed populations of food items (carrot pieces and banana pellets, where the banana pellets are by far preferred by the animals). Importantly, the distribution of the two items and thus the relative frequency of drawing a banana pellet differed between the populations (e.g. 64:16 of banana : carrot in one bucket vs. 16:64 in the other). Main conclusion: We found evidence of intuitive statistics in this group of great apes: in the majority of trials, the animals chose the sample stemming from the population with a higher relative frequency of their preferred item (banana pellet). We ruled out alternative accounts, such as Clever Hans effects and odour discrimination."],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/13168"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.preprint","yes"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.conference","ASAB Interdisciplinary Workshop 2012"],["dc.relation.eventend","28.06.2012"],["dc.relation.eventlocation","Birmingham"],["dc.relation.eventstart","27.06.2012"],["dc.relation.iserratumof","yes"],["dc.title","Intuitive statistics in non-human primates"],["dc.type","conference_paper"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Many forms of such statistical reasoning have been found to develop late in human ontogeny, depending on formal education and language, and to be fragile even in adults. New revolutionary research, however, suggests that even preverbal human infants make use of intuitive statistics. Here, we conducted the first investigation of such intuitive statistical reasoning with non-human primates. In a series of 7 experiments, Bonobos, Chimpanzees, Gorillas and Orangutans drew flexible statistical inferences from populations to samples. These inferences, furthermore, were truly based on statistical information regarding the relative frequency distributions in a population, and not on absolute frequencies. Intuitive statistics in its most basic form is thus an evolutionarily more ancient rather than a uniquely human capacity."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.cognition.2013.12.011"],["dc.identifier.gro","3151304"],["dc.identifier.pmid","24440657"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/8093"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.relation.issn","0010-0277"],["dc.title","Apes are intuitive statisticians"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
