What is one unique turn-taking skill exhibited by humans, according to Hamann et al. (2011)?
Humans exhibited unique turn-taking skills not found in chimpanzees.
According to Rekers et al. (2011), who showed a higher preference for collaboration, children or chimpanzees?
Children showed a higher preference for collaboration compared to chimpanzees.
What influenced sharing behavior more according to Melis et al. (2011)? Collaboration or proximity?
Proximity, but not collaboration, influenced sharing behavior.
In a study by Melis & Tomasello (2013), what did most chimpanzee subjects correctly do in a collaborative task?
Most subjects correctly chose the tool needed by their partner.
According to Melis et al. (2013), what hampered collaboration in chimpanzees, particularly in situations involving food?
Collaboration was hampered by low tolerance levels, particularly in situations with food.
What behavior was more fair post-collaboration according to Melis et al. (2011)?
Sharing was more fair post-collaboration.
What was one key finding from Melis & Tomasello (2019) study on chimpanzees' communication in collaborative problem-solving?
Chimpanzees displayed the ability to wait for and recruit competent partners.
According to Melis, Grocke, Kalbitz, & Tomasello (2016), what did the study reveal about turn-taking in collaboration?
Successful cooperation was present but decreased over sessions, and turn-taking did not emerge significantly.
Differentiate between co-production and collaboration as discussed in the text.
Co-production refers to simple joint activities, while collaboration involves complex interactions requiring coordination and shared intentionality.
How do tolerance constraints play a role in successful collaboration, especially in the context of food sharing?
Tolerance constraints affect successful collaboration by influencing how individuals interact during resource sharing, particularly around food.
Discuss the Sharing-under-pressure Hypothesis and its impact on resource sharing in collaboration.
The Sharing-under-pressure Hypothesis suggests that sharing is influenced by social pressure, where more harassment leads to more sharing, especially in food-sharing contexts.
How do cognitive abilities support collaboration in terms of partner recruitment and communication?
Cognitive abilities support collaboration by enabling individuals to effectively recruit competent partners and communicate their needs and intentions.
What are the socio-cognitive skills essential for effective collaboration?
Joint attention, shared goals, communication skills, and planning

What evolutionary behaviors link humans to collaboration with chimpanzees?
Alliances, coalitionary support, group hunting, and meat sharing
What kind of collaboration is based on shared intentionality according to the text?
Advanced collaboration
