Control, choice, and assessments fo the value of behavioral management to nonhuman primates in captivity

Note on effects of a daylong feeding enrichment program for Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)

This study is designed to determine whether longer feeding opportunities over the course of a day would directly engender longer feeding times. A liquid dispenser was presented for 8 h/day to five chimpanzees. The daily feeding duration was increased to...
