Great talk by @nicolefurgala.bsky.social on gaze-following in capuchin monkeys: they are sensitive to gaze cues, w lots of individual variation. Males faster to learn from gaze, may be due to the identity of stimuli (alpha female). Can't yet disentangle sex/rank/social closeness, etc. #ABS2026 🐵👀

Slide with capuchin monkey and text: Monkey See-Monkey Cue: Do capuchins (Sapajus apella) follow and utilize conspecific gaze.

Had a wonderful Theory of Mind Symposium at the Southern Society for Philosophy and Psychology Conference! Thank you so much to our invited speakers for sharing their expertise, visiting the LRC, and being mediocre gaze-followers! @chriskrupenye.bsky.social @kristinandrews.bsky.social
