Abstract

Positive reinforcement techniques are described and were applied to train groups of chimpanzees to move voluntarily into the indoor portions of their enclosures at the request of trainers and to be briefly restricted to those areas. ... Females required significantly fewer training sessions to reach reliable performance than did males.
