“违反预期”的注视时间方法已被证明是一个强大的工具,探索人类婴儿以及非人类灵长类动物的前语言心理表征。四项研究应用这种方法的问题,自发的数表示在棉顶绢毛猴(Saguinus俄狄浦斯)在这里报道。猴子被展示了1+ 1事件,其中物体被放置在屏幕后面,1乘1。移除屏幕,显示一致(2个物体)和不一致(1个、3个或1个两倍于原始物体质量的大物体)结果。在所有的研究中,猴子对不一致的结果的观察时间都比对一致的结果的观察时间长。当猴子看到一个1+ 1操作时,他们期望的是2个对象。这些数字表征很可能是各种灵长类动物自发获得的,并可能为人类的数感在进化和发展过程中的构建提供基础。(PsycINFO数据库记录(c)2016阿帕,版权所有)(来源:期刊摘要)
The" violation of expectancy" looking-time methodology has proven a powerful tool for exploring prelinguistic mental representations in human infants as well as in nonhuman primates. Four studies applying this methodology to the question of spontaneous number representations in cotton-top tamarins (Saguinus oedipus) are reported here. Monkeys were shown 1+ 1 events in which objects were placed behind a screen, 1 by 1. The screen was removed, revealing consistent (2 objects) and inconsistent (1, 3, or 1 large object twice the mass of original object) outcomes. In all studies, monkeys looked longer at the inconsistent than at the consistent outcome. When the monkeys view a 1+ 1 operation, they expect exactly 2 objects. It is likely that these numerical representations are spontaneously available to a variety of primate species and could provide a foundation on which humans' number sense was constructed over evolution and development.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)(Source: journal abstract)
