Cantaloup et al (2017)
the procedure: two buckets and a banana, one calm monkey and one aggressive. in a lab but looked at wide range of monkeys. either start at same time or give calm head start. can only keep banana if they deceive.

1) concealing interest of object
2) concealment by hiding
3) go away to suggest food is in a different place
23 of 24

there was no suggested learning because one of the deceptive behaviours happened the first time, no difference between first and last trial, however could also just be because the animal is scared, cannot therefore rule out idea theyre just scared or conf
