This chapter discusses the difference between the cognitive abilities of chimpanzees and monkeys. It examines what is learned by what monkeys apparently cannot do. The chapter explores two topics: species differences (capacities that have been demonstrated for apes but not for monkeys) and meaningful failures (tasks on which monkeys have inexplicably failed to learn relationally.
Keywords: cognitive abilities, chimpanzees, monkeys, species differences, apes, meaningful failures
