用于生成任意匹配样本性能的过程可能仅生成条件判别。合理的理由，提出了这种区别，根据任何等价关系必须具备的属性。实证检验，以确定是否受训练的条件歧视也从事真正的匹配样本。一系列研究得出的结论是，尚未提供猴子、鸽子或狒狒与样本真正匹配的证据。这种证据的缺乏是否反映了经验因素或物种定义的限制目前尚不清楚。
Procedures for generating arbitrary matching-to-sample performances may generate only conditional discriminations. Rational grounds for this distinction are proposed, based on the properties that any equivalence relation must possess. Empirical tests are described for determining whether subjects trained on conditional discriminations are also engaged in true matching to sample. A series of studies then leads to the conclusion that proof of true matching-to-sample by monkeys, pigeons or baboons is yet to be provided. Whether the absence of such proof reflects experiential factors or species-defined limitations is not presently clear.
