 | Endowment effect in capuchin monkeys. |  fig1: A photograph depicting the token exchange method in capuchins. Here, one capuchin subject, Auric, trades a token for a food reward.Bottom Line: We then examine whether capuchins display an endowment effect in a token-trading task.We show that these effects are not due to transaction costs or timing issues.These data suggest that biased preferences rely on cognitive systems that are more evolutionarily... | Lakshminaryanan V, Chen MK, Santos LR - Philos.
