We examine the effect of familiarity on capuchins' ability to discriminate faces. Like humans and apes, familiarity affects capuchins' ability to discriminate faces. Capuchins better recognize familiar (in-group and out-group) than unfamiliar faces. Yet capuchins recognize in-group and out-group members equally well. Male capuchins performed better than females on the discrimination task.
