Abstract
Members of Macaca speciosa have characteristics that make them suitable primates for neuropsychological investigation. They work well in discrimination training, have a varied behavioral repertoire and social interaction, and seem to be at least as intelligent as M. mulatta. They are docile and submit readily to laboratory routine.Keywords
