The effects of food treat provisioning and human interaction on the behavioral well-being of rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) (1993)

Bayne, K., Dexter, S. L., Strange, G. M.

Abstract

The effects of human interaction and food supplementation appear to be protracted, resulting in a reduction of pathology [behavioral disorders] even after the enrichment is removed [p.8]. ... The primary disadvantages to using food enrichment devices are the added cost of the puzzle or foraging board and the labor investment in loading such devices [p. 7-8].
