In a study by Fredman and Whitman (2008), mother-raised and human-raised capuchin monkeys watched a human model use a screwdriver to remove a lid from a container and gain access to a food reward. In separate groups of both types of monkeys, the model removed the lid by either sticking the screwdriver in a hole located in the middle of the lid or by prying the lid off from the rim. The
investigators found that:
A) only the human-raised monkeys learned by observation.
B) both groups learned by observation and both preferred sticking the screwdriver into the hole.
C) both groups learned by observation, but the human-raised monkeys were much more likely to pry the lid off from the rim.
D) both groups learned by observation, but the human-raised monkeys were considerably more likely to imitate the exact method the human model used.
D) both groups learned by observation, but the human-raised monkeys were considerably more likely to imitate the exact method the human model used.
