Learned Responses, Complex Learning and the Work of Wolfgang Kohler and Jane Goodall

This week we shed light on this post from @loveforlove where the work from Kohler and Goodall on chimps, in the context of learning and the associated complex responses, is discussed. Topics like habituation and conditioning are approached, as well as more involved social behaviours and observational learning.
