在婴儿的第一年，在自由放养的日本猕猴（Macaca fuscata）的母婴关系进行了研究。三个可能的因素控制母婴关系进行了检查，采用多变量分析。奇偶性决定对母婴关系产生最大的影响。具体而言，在第1个月，多产的母亲表现出更大的母亲吸吮排斥比非经产的母亲，和非经产和multiparae不同，他们的反应，吸吮行为。在第6个月，多产的母亲促使他们的后代独立性比多产的母亲。然而，到第8个月，产妇行为的产次差异大大减少。产妇排名是一个不太重要的因素，虽然在第1个月，高级别的母亲表现出更大的产妇比低级别的限制。在本研究中，婴儿性别似乎对母婴关系没有影响。大多数差异是由于产次不同造成的，这表明母婴关系在很大程度上由母亲决定。这一观察结果与“学习做母亲”的假设相冲突。在日本猕猴中，由未孕猕猴进行新生儿的异母繁殖是罕见的。初产的母亲从照顾自己的婴儿中学会了适当的哺乳护理。
Mother-infant relationships were studied during the infant''s first year in free-ranging Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata). Three possible factors controlling the mother-infant relationships were examined using multivariate analysis. Parity was determined to exert the strongest influence on mother-infant relationships. Specifically, during month 1, multiparous mothers showed greater maternal suckling rejection than primiparous mothers, and primiparae and multiparae differed in their responses to suckling behavior. During month 6, multiparous mothers prompted independence of their offspring more than primiparous mothers. By month 8, however, parity differences in maternal behavior were substantially reduced. Maternal rank was a less important factor, although during month 1, high-ranking mothers showed greater maternal restriction than low-ranking ones. In the present study, infant gender appeared to have no effect on mother-infant relationships. That most differences were due to parity indicates that mother-infant relations were largely determined by the mothers. This observation conflicts with the "learning-to-mother" hypothesis. Allo-mothering of neonates by nulliparae is rare among Japnese macaques. Primiparous mothers learned appropriate suckling care from handling their own infants.
