Individual traits seem to drive our learning success: for instance, conscientious individuals often show higher academic performance.
A group of cognitive and behavioural biologists from University of Vienna conducted personality assessments and a battery of learning tests with common marmosets and found that such a link, intertwined with family group membership, exists in these monkeys, too. The study results were recently published in the journal Scientific Reports.
