DRUG EFFECTS IN COMPLEX BEHAVIORAL REPERTOIRES IN MONKEYS, BABOONS, AND MAN

Abstract

Complex behavioral performances in monkeys, baboons, and man are described; important variables in determining the acquisition and maintenance of these behaviors are discussed. The behaviors include two different 'counting' routines with the animals, and a matching-to-sample problemsolving task with humans. The effects of a tranquilizing drug, chlorpromazine, upon counting and matching-to-sample are presented. Graphs and photographs are included.
