采用二选一延迟匹配任务，研究了一只18岁雌性黑猩猩对物体统一性的知觉。受试者接受了两个杆状图形的训练，这两个图形完全相同，只是其中一个在其中心有一个小缺口。在掌握了这个基本任务之后，她被展示了一个中心被一个彩色矩形遮住的图形。我们研究了知觉的主体的匹配反应的完整或断裂的杆，调查她如何看待这些部分不可见的数字。在四个独立的实验中，操纵遮挡矩形上方和下方部分的对齐和移动。她将部分闭塞刺激与完整杆匹配，只要对准足够。结果表明，像人类成年人一样，黑猩猩可以感知物理上分离的图形的统一性。
Perception of object unity was studied in an 18-year-old female chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) using a two-choice delayed matching-to-sample task. The subject was trained with two rod-shaped figures which were exactly identical except that one of them had a small gap at its center. After mastering this baseline task, she was shown the figure with its center occluded by a colored rectangle. We examined the perception of the subject's matching response on either the complete or the broken rod to investigate how she perceived these partly invisible figures. In four separate experiments, the alignment and the movement of the portions above and below the occluding rectangle were manipulated. She matched the partly occluded stimuli to the complete rod as long as the alignment was sufficient. The results suggest that like human adults, the chimpanzee can perceive unity of physically separated figures.
