I use a combination of semi-natural and conventional laboratory tests, combined with neurobiological approaches, to assess cognition. I have studied apes, monkeys, wild birds, rats, bats, mice, children, and adult humans. These investigations were conducted in the laboratory, using operant and open-field paradigms to measure cognitive function, and in the field with wild populations. I have used lesion studies, volumetric comparisons, pharmacological interventions, and comparative methods to assess brain function.

PUBLIC OUTREACH AND SELECTED MEDIA COVERAGE Active research collaboration and public education effort with Drs. Jennifer Mickleberg and Tara
Stoinski at Zoo Atlanta. For this outreach effort we have prepared a video with the CBN describing
our work that plays at the orangutan exhibit. We have also established cognitive testing of
orangutans that is visible to zoo visitors, in addition to “behind the scenes” testing focused on
science.
