对资源质量的辨别与动物面临的许多日常决策有关。公共信息是促进质量评估的重要信息来源，通过监控他人的表现来实现。据我们所知，在这里我们提供了第一个证据，证明黑猩猩（Pan troglodytes）利用公共信息来指导资源选择。向 32 只黑猩猩展示了两个同步视频演示，展示了同种黑猩猩以快（资源丰富）或慢（资源贫乏）的速度获取资源的情况。随后，受试者选择了超出偶然预期的资源丰富的地点。作为比较，我们报告了幼儿使用公共信息的证据。对灵长类动物公共信息使用的调查是相关的，因为它可以提高觅食成功率，并有可能促进有回报的社会学习。（PsycINFO 数据库记录 (c) 2016 APA，保留所有权利）
The discernment of resource quality is pertinent to many daily decisions faced by animals. Public information is a critical information source that promotes quality assessments, attained by monitoring others’ performance. Here we provide the first evidence, to our knowledge, that chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) use public information to guide resource selection. Thirty-two chimpanzees were presented with two simultaneous video demonstrations depicting a conspecific acquiring resources at a fast (resource-rich) or slow (resource-poor) rate. Subsequently, subjects selected the resource-rich site above chance expectation. As a comparison, we report evidence of public information use in young children. Investigation of public information use in primates is pertinent, as it can enhance foraging success and potentially facilitate payoff-biased social learning.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
