我们测试了婴儿日本猕猴（Macaca fuscata）是否具有自己物种的跨模态表征。我们给猴子看了一张显示在液晶显示器上的猴子或人脸的照片，然后播放了这两种动物中的一种的声音。当猴子发出声音后呈现一张人脸时，受试者看显示器的时间比在人类发出声音后呈现同一张人脸时更长。这表明猴子在听到猴子的声音时会回忆并期待猴子的脸。
We tested whether infant Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) have a cross-modal representation of their own species. We presented monkeys with a photograph of either a monkey or a human face on an LCD monitor after playing back a vocalization of one of those two species. The subjects looked at the monitor longer when a human face was presented after the monkey vocalization than when the same face was presented after human vocalization. This suggests that monkeys recall and expect a monkey's face upon hearing a monkey's voice.
