When attending to vocal signals, baboons appear to take into account not only the signaller's identity and her probable subsequent behaviour, but also the target of her attention. The ability to integrate these cues may represent a first crucial step towards the recognition of other individuals' intentions and motives. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=GatewayURL&_method=citationSearch&_urlVersion=4&_origin=SDVIALERTHTML&_version=1&_uoikey=B6W9W-4J2M4K9-2&md5=00af5851b7bea265f86126c31dfb5834 " target="blank">www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=GatewayURL&_method=citationSearch&_urlVersion=4&_origin=SDVIALERTHTML&_version=1&_uoikey=B6W9W-4J2M4K9-2&md5=00af5851b7bea265f86126c31dfb5834 </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
