Regurgitation in gorillas: possible model for human eating disorders (rumination/bulimia)

Regurgitation and reingestion behavior in gorillas is compared with two human disorders, rumination and bulimia. Eighty-four percent of captive gorillas that are more than 5 years old regurgitate and reingest. Comparisons are made on the basis of ontogeny, context, motor...

Resocialization of asocial chimpanzees

Successful resocialization techniques of asocial (insufficient opportunities have prevented the subject from acquiring the social experience necessary for compatible group living) chimpanzees and their practical implications are discussed. The problem of lack of opportunity for social learning is confounded by...
