Abstract
Cotton top tamarins and 3-5 year old toddlers were trained on a version of the Dimensional Card Sorting Task. While 3-year olds struggled to shift, tamarins were able to do so quite well. The data suggest that tamarins coded individual features in each stimulus which led to more rapid shifting.
