| Abstract: |
Specialised forms of social cognition enable primates to manage the stresses of group living by allowing for flexible and intentional communication. This is used to increase the predictability of conspecifics' behaviour for both signallers and receivers. Intentional communication helps to overcome the stimulus-driven processing that may occur due to stress, enhancing attention allocation in receivers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
