    "title": "Studies of Temperament in Simian Primates with Implications for Socially Mediated Learning",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "The functions of social learning concern the acquisition of skills and information that enable individuals to adjust competently to their environments. However, individuals differ in the extents to which they cope with, maintain and create social and other environmental opportunities. Hence, it is relevant to consider dispositions of individuals interactively - as with emotion, attention and activity; to emphasise self regulatory behaviour, as with selective attention towards or away from environmental conditions. These propensities facilitate positive and negative responses that are associated with the uptake and use of skill and information from other individuals. In these regards, the study of temperament has fertile but mainly unexplored potential. Examples are given from studies of simian primates in which differences in temperament have predictive implications for social learning. When relatively fearful animals confront challenging situations, they are likely to avoid them and become physiologically disturbed. Less fearful and active animals interact more, and in emotionally more positive ways with other individuals. They are more likely to maintain closer physical proximity to others, to attend more to what they are doing and where. Hence, they have greater chances of facilitating advantageous responses - as in feeding strategies. In the acquisition of social skills, less fearful animals engage in play activities more than relatively fearful animals. Such interactions facilitate thedevelopment of information about other individuals, and the quality of social behaviour that is developed. These examples show the value of an integrative approach to behavioural studies - in which behaviour is considered with other biological systems.",
