Squirrel monkeys that had been exposed to repeated separations from cloth surrogates were given continuous access to domestic kittens. Information-theoretic measures showed that these monkeys exerted greater constraint on behaviors of adult feral squirrel monkeys than did monkeys who had not received previous kitten exposure. The latter monkeys displayed a behavioral encapsulation characterized by increased susceptibility to the constraint imposed by their own preceding behaviors and a decreased susceptibility to constraint from other monkeys' behaviors. In addition, kitten-reared monkeys displayed a high level of positive social behaviors, particularly following noncohesive or divisive behaviors by another monkey.
曾多次与布制代母分离的松鼠猴可以持续接触家养小猫。信息论测量结果显示，与未曾接触过小猫的猴子相比，这些猴子对成年野生松鼠猴的行为施加了更大的约束。后一组猴子表现出一种行为封装，其特征是对自身先前行为施加的约束更敏感，而对其他猴子行为的约束不那么敏感。此外，由小猫养大的猴子表现出高度的积极社交行为，尤其是在另一只猴子出现非合作或分裂行为之后。
