	abstract = {<p>This report describes the responses of an experienced gorilla mother to inappropriate maternal behavior displayed by her young adult daughter toward a newborn baby and repeated acts of baby-transfer between these two females in a captive social group of lowland gorillas ( Gorilla g. gorilla). The quality of infant care by the young adult daughter clearly improved during the first 4 days after birth, and this improvement was at least partly based on her mother{\textquoteright}s encouragement. Thus, the mother{\textquoteright}s activities can be considered scaffolding for her daughter with regard to maternal infant care.</p>
