Marmosets in a Brazilian forest have learned to open a device to retrieve a treat by watching a video of a monkey completing the task in the lab
I didn't know marmosets were into psychedelic rock
:O This one's really interesting, I figured the monkeys would be too distracted by the fact that they couldn't reach the monkey in front of them to realize that he was doing something. That's freaking cool.
Our clever little cousins!
How-to movie - there are millions of them on TH-cam. How about one made for monkeys? Wild marmosets learn skills from monkey movies Read more at ow.ly/B34uu
or did they?
Where is the control station where i love lucy is playing on the monitor? Or where video of a different box opening mechanism is shown instead?

I love Lucy could teach monkeys important things like how to screw up packaging small chocolates moving a long a conveyer belt and how to hide such small chocolates in your hat or mouth.
That's what its all about. More 60s sitcom for wild animals.
Seriously... This seems like the worst kind of science. So many problems. Experiment design is important.
How about teaching internet monkeys to spot, ... and stop feeding the trolls?
They aren't learning anything from those videos, they are simply doing what comes naturally to them; problem solving. And when it is a simple task like opening a drawer or lifting a lid, that is no trouble... Come back when you have some "new science"
Modeling is a high order cognitive process, all those mirroring neurons firing to recreate the activity off a screen into real life.
Here's one for Karl :)
Wonderful..!
Educating marmosets everywhere
