A Japanese macaque named “Kiki” sees one of its group members named “Hiro” washing a potato. Kiki then copies Hiro and starts washing her own potatoes.

In reality, Kiki was simply drawn to the location or behavior and there was no inference of desired goals. What principle best describes this situation?

a. stimulus enhancement b. the comparative relations hypothesis c. anthropomorphism d. the transitive inference fallacy
