在本研究中，我们调查了大猩猩（Gorilla gorilla）的手势交流。实验对象为13只大猩猩（1 - 6岁），分两组圈养。我们的目标是编制亚成年大猩猩的手势剧目，特别关注社会认知的过程，包括注意个体和发展的变化，群体的变化，以及使用的灵活性。记录了33种不同的姿势（6种听觉姿势，11种触觉姿势和16种视觉姿势）。我们发现了特殊的手势，个体差异，以及群体之间和群体内部的相似程度的一致性，以及一些群体特有的手势。这些结果提供的证据表明，个体发育仪式化是主要的学习过程，但某种形式的社会学习也可能是负责收购的特殊姿态。本研究确定，大猩猩有一个多方面的手势剧目，具有很大的灵活性，适应各种交际环境，包括收件人的注意力状态。将Seyfarth和切尼[1997]提出的非人灵长类动物声音发育模型应用于非人灵长类动物手势交流的可能性进行了讨论。am.

In the present study we investigated the gestural communication of gorillas (Gorilla gorilla). The subjects were 13 gorillas (1–6 years old) living in two different groups in captivity. Our goal was to compile the gestural repertoire of subadult gorillas, with a special focus on processes of social cognition, including attention to individual and developmental variability, group variability, and flexibility of use. Thirty‐three different gestures (six auditory, 11 tactile, and 16 visual gestures) were recorded. We found idiosyncratic gestures, individual differences, and similar degrees of concordance between and within groups, as well as some group‐specific gestures. These results provide evidence that ontogenetic ritualization is the main learning process involved, but some form of social learning may also be responsible for the acquisition of special gestures. The present study establishes that gorillas have a multifaceted gestural repertoire, characterized by a great deal of flexibility with accommodations to various communicative circumstances, including the attentional state of the recipient. The possibility of assigning Seyfarth and Cheney's [1997] model for nonhuman primate vocal development to the development of nonhuman primate gestural communication is discussed. Am. J.
