猴子的能力，以提取音调模式的一系列的音调进行了评估，在四个科目，有大量的过去的经验，在歧视，匹配和记忆的声音刺激的好处。在实验1中，猴子未能将其完善的匹配行为转移到两个结构化的音调序列的匹配中，这两个音调序列主要在音调模式上不同，这表明对它们来说，音调模式不是声学刺激的显著特征。实验2是一个尝试，鼓励音调模式知觉，在一个歧视的范式，非常简单的音调模式和多个例子的积极和消极的模式;转移设计，借用Hulse和Cynx（1985），是一个强大的一个揭示音调模式知觉。与我们实验室早期的结果相比，猴子的迁移表现几乎没有表明它们已经从声学刺激中提取了音调模式。主要的区别控制似乎是在每个样本的第一个音调。这种明显的认知限制在动物中可能相当普遍，也许反映了音调模式感知能力与基于声学的语言之间的密切联系。
The monkey’s capacity to extract tonal pattern from a sequence of tones was assessed in four subjects that had the benefit of substantial past experience in discriminating, matching, and remembering acoustic stimuli. In Experiment 1, the monkeys failed to transfer their well-established matching behavior to the matching of two structured sequences of tones that differed primarily in tonal pattern, indicating that for them tonal pattern was not a salient feature of the acoustic stimuli. Experiment 2 was an attempt to encourage tonal pattern perception by employing, within a discrimination paradigm, very simple tonal patterns and multiple exemplars of the positive and negative patterns; the transfer design, borrowed from Hulse and Cynx (1985), was a powerful one for revealing tonal pattern perception. Verifying earlier results from our laboratory, there was little in the monkeys’ transfer performance to indicate that they had extracted tonal pattern from the acoustic stimuli. Major discriminative control seemed to be vested in the first tone of each exemplar. This apparent cognitive limitation may be rather general among animals, perhaps reflecting an intimate connection between the capacity for tonal pattern perception and that for acoustically based language.
