(2/2) We review evidence of primate communication behaviour not fully captured by the model of intentional communication, and present our framework, "inferential communication," to bridge the theoretical gap between intentional and ostensive-infernential models of communication.
I am very proud and excited to share my 1st first-author paper, published as part of the #ResearchTopic: The Quest for Symbolic Communication in Non-Human Animals, in @FrontPsychol! https://t.co/EDuoAlUZJh (1/2)
My first primate publication is out with @RealPrimatthias and Josep Call! See thread and #openaccess article where we discuss increased wavering between options in chimpanzees when faced with more difficult trials
