许多研究表明，几个物种的猴子每天都会执行数百次以食物奖励的操纵杆任务。我们在这项研究中的目标是确定水平的操纵杆任务的性能，可以保持10秒。一个同类社会群体的实时彩色视频，取决于操纵杆任务的完成。研究对象是五只单独圈养的帽子猕猴，它们在操纵杆任务方面经验丰富。社交视频奖励的表现与190毫克香蕉味颗粒奖励和非奖励条件下的表现进行了比较。视频和颗粒奖励保持了相当水平的任务活动，而任务活动几乎停止在没有奖励的情况下。五只猴子中有四只在社交视频奖励的第一周和第二周之间增加了任务活动水平。
A number of studies have now indicated that monkeys of several species will perform hundreds of food-rewarded joystick tasks on a daily basis. Our goal in this study was to identify the level of joystick task performance that could be maintained by 10 sec. of live, color video of a conspecific social group contingent upon the completion of a joystick task. The subjects were five individually housed bonnet macaques that were highly experienced on joystick tasks. Performance with social-video reward was compared to that maintained by a 190-mg banana-flavored pellet reward and to a nonreward condition. Comparable levels of task activity were maintained by both video and pellet reward, whereas task activity nearly ceased in the absence of reward. Four of the five monkeys increased their levels of task activity between the first and second weeks of social-video reward.
