Originally, 135 monkeys were from the Yerkes National Primate Research Center Field Station 53 were excluded, hence only 82 took part ➜ 61 females and 21 males.
34 monkeys (23 females & 11 males) interacted with the toys on more than 5 occasions, therefore, their data was included in the analysis.
Reasons for excluding the 53 monkeys:
14 had previously participated in research on prenatal hormones so they weren’t included in the current study (to reduce demand characteristics and order effects).
39 were excluded since they were too young, and it was hard to tell their sex.
