Dubois, E. Sampaio, J. Gerard, P. Quenette, J. Muniz] We recorded the responses of the members of a captive group of wedge-capped capuchins to novel and familiar objects placed in different parts of their cage in a study of the spatial dependency of activity with objects. We focused on behavioral pattern variability across subjects and across object location. Results show that, according to the location of the object, a great deal of within-subject response variability exists. The dominant male was slow to interact physically with objects and presented social-like behaviors—essentially grooming—towards objects in only one site. Implicit to the ethological approach is the assumption that consistent spatial location is irrelevant or, at best, of little importance to the definition of stimuli. Nevertheless, stimuli would be best considered as perturbations insofar as the significance of an object or event depends on where and when it is encountered. In order to evaluate how monkey cognition operates, it seems essential to investigate the role of the primate's own spatial structure. As a working hypothesis, we introduce the processes of spatial facilitation and inhibition and suggest that they affect how an individual interacts with objects and events.
