Abstract
Rhesus monkeys learned to mount a perch large enough for only one animal in order to avoide shock, and then were tested in pairs. Dominance hierarchies thus obtained were very stable over long periods of time, being less subject than food-getting measures to variations due to momentary distraction or lack of motivation.
