The aim of the study was to assess the ability of tufted capuchin monkeys (Sapajus spp.) to solve a visual discrimination problem presented with different procedures (computerised and non-computerised). The study was done in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology of Leipzig and it had yielded results of methodological relevance in comparative visual cognition research. In particular, it has shown that the presentation of the same discrimination task by using different methodologies, even if equivalent from a functional point of view, leads to significant differences in learning speed.
