<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin:0cm;background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Abstract: Both human and non-human animals face a myriad of choices every day: what food to eat, where to spend their time, and with whom to mate or to interact
with. Comparative studies of decision-making have revealed important variability across different species’ decision-making strategies. What governs the variation in decision-making strategies seen across the natural world? To answer this question, I will present
a series of comparative studies examining decision-making under risk, probabilistic reasoning, and cognitive control in tufted capuchin monkeys, rhesus macaques and lemurs, respectively. The results of these studies suggest that ecological complexity consistently
predicts differences across species’ decision strategies and cognitive abilities, thereby highlighting how comparative studies can provide critical insights into the evolutionary contexts that favor some kinds of decision-making strategies over others.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
