Abstract

Rhesus yearlings that received a three-phase, nonsocial, environmental enrichment program during a year of single caging, spent more time playing and less time self-grooming than did control subjects, but abnormal behaviors were not affected.Abstracts of this work have been published in: American Journal of Primatology 20: 231-232, 1990; Schapiro SJ, Bloomsmith MA, Keeling ME; A comparison of the effects of physical and feeding enrichment on singly caged specific pathogen free (SPF) rhesus monkey yearlings. - American Journal of Primatology 20: 232, 1990; Schapiro SJ, Bloomsmith MA, Keeling ME; Short-term effects of environmental enrichment on the behavior of singly-caged specific pathogen free (SPF) rhesus monkey yearlings.
