CHIMPANZEE BEHAVIORAL GAME THEORY collaborative research / training

During this trip, I was able to visit Caltech
(California), Chicago Zoo and University of Chicago experimental science
conference, and Indianapolis Zoo. The majority of my time was spent at
Caltech (1 month), where I worked daily on data analysis with members of
Colin F Camerer's laboratory. Professor Camerer and I drafted a paper on
chimpanzee game theory and we will submit the paper for publication. It
was a very helpful and productive collaboration, and his laboratory is
arguably the best in the world for analyzing game theory data using
comprehensive modeling protocols. At Caltech I also gave a seminar
presentation on chimpanzee game theory experiments at PRI.
I spent one week traveling to Chicago and
Indianapolis. In Chicago, I attended the annual meeting of the Economic
Science Association at the University of Chicago Booth Business School. It
was a great opportunity to present on chimpanzee game theory and receive
feedback from the international community of experimental economists.
After the conference, I spent a day at the Lincoln Park Zoo meeting with
Steve Ross, the ape research director. We spoke about continuing our
collaborative chimp video conferencing project. I also spent a day at
Indianapolis Zoo, where I gave a presentation to the research team there
headed by Dr. Robert Shumaker. Dr. Shumaker is interested in beginning a
collaboration with us at PRI regarding computer software that will enable
the orangutans in Indianapolis to interact with Chimpanzees at PRI over
the internet. This will be a great opportunity to expand the game theory
tasks I have developed for the chimps at PRI.
