Insight, in Experimental Psychology, traditionally refers a sudden and spontaneous solution of a specific problem. The present study aims to verify the occurrence of sudden problem resolution in capuchin monkeys (Sapajus spp.) based on explicit training of two pre-requisite repertoires. Additionally, we examined if the manipulation of the context of training alters the topography of the problem solution response. Two subjects were trained to: a) join objects, and b) to rake objects with a tool. The training of the two repertoires was independent and was carried out in different contexts. The final task consists in raking a piece of food with a joinable tool that was never seen before. The two subjects solved the task, but the topography of solution was not clearly compatible with insight interpretation. The solutions had pauses between steps, and the behavior was not goal directed. The negative effects of different contexts for the training of the pre-requisite repertoires are discussed. |
