Working with a group of baboons (狒狒

Working with a group of baboons (狒狒) in the Namibian desert, Dr. Alecia Carter of the Department of Zoology, Cambridge University set baboons learning tasks involving a novel food and a familiar food hidden in a box. Some baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task, while others had to learn for themselves. To work out how brave or anxious the baboons were, Dr. Carter presented them either with a novel food or a threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake.

She found that personality had a major impact on learning. The braver baboons learnt, but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones did. In effect, despite being made aware of what to do, they were still too shy to do what the experienced baboon did.

The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning. If some individuals are unable to get information from others because they don’t associate with the knowledgeable individuals, or they are too shy to use the information once they have it, information may not travel between all group members, preventing the formation of a culture based on social learning.

剑桥大学工作与一群狒狒 （狒狒） 在纳米比亚沙漠中，动物学系博士南国卡特集狒狒，涉及一种新型的食品和一种熟悉的食物藏在盒子里的学习任务。一些狒狒了机会观看另一个狒狒已经知道如何解决的任务，而另一些学会为自己的人。工作出多么勇敢或焦虑的狒狒了，博士卡特提出他们用一种新型的食品或有毒的蛇模型的形式的威胁。她发现，人格对学习产生了重大影响。勇敢的狒狒得知，但却腼腆的人没学到的任务，虽然他们看着狒狒执行找到新型食品，只是，只要勇敢的人做的任务。实际上，尽管被知道该怎么办了，他们仍然是腼腆得不敢做的有经验的狒狒。这一发现可能会影响我们如何理解在通过社会学习社会文化的形成。如果有些人不能从别人那里获得信息，因为他们不关联的知识渊博的个人，或他们是太害羞了，一旦他们有了它使用的信息，信息可能不来往所有组成员，防止基于社会的学习文化的形成。
