If anything, New World monkeys might score a little low.

For example, if you hide a grape under a cup and leave the cup out of the lemur's reach for... let's say 5 minutes... and then give the lemur access to the cup, the lemur won't remember that there's a grape under it.<br /><br />So with the carabiners, if we set it on area of the cage, and then move the lemur around a lot with a target stick while doing other training, but then give the command to go back to the carabiner, the lemur may not remember where it is.Makyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14864634622810424576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3427084693363800952.post-69892170259916863902013-02-14T02:06:39.508-08:002013-02-14T02:06:39.508-08:00What does this mean: "given their difficultie...What does this mean: "given their difficulties with object permanence problems"? I'm not a trainer and don't know the trade jargon, but want to understand what you're talking about. And what specifically are the problems?
