The acquisition of the ability to use a joystick to maintain contact between a cursor and moving target is described for an infant bonnet macaque ( Macaca radiata ). The infant was first exposed to a very elementary joystick task while living in a social group at the age of 3.5 months. With task difficulty increased in small increments over a total of only 9 weeks of access to the tasks, the infant was able to maintain contact with a small moving target for over 2.5 sec by the age of 7.5 months. © 1994 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
