我们提出了第一个纵向数据的认知和运动老化在黑猩猩（泛troglodytes）。38只成年雌性黑猩猩（10-54岁）被研究。研究人员对这些猿类进行了为期3年的纵向测试，测试内容包括12项身体和社会认知测试（Science 317, 1360-1366）。研究人员还对黑猩猩进行了一项精细运动任务，要求它们从各种复杂的杆子上取下一个钢螺母。几乎没有证据表明身体认知任务与年龄有关：对于大多数任务，在不同年龄组的反复测试中，表现要么稳定，要么有所改善。空间记忆是一个例外，有4名50岁以上的人在3年的测试中表现明显下降。随着年龄的增长，在社会认知的两项任务中，注意力获得任务和目光跟随任务的表现都较差。在最简单的杆子上反复测试，还观察到轻微的运动障碍，老年黑猩猩的进步不如年轻黑猩猩。荷尔蒙状态的影响仅限于空间记忆，不骑车的女性表现优于骑车的女性，与年龄无关。出乎意料的是，年长的黑猩猩比年轻的黑猩猩更能理解基于声音的因果关系。
We present the first longitudinal data on cognitive and motor aging in the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes). Thirty-eight adult female chimpanzees (10–54 years old) were studied. The apes were tested longitudinally for 3 years in a modified Primate Cognition Test Battery (, Science 317,1360–1366), which comprised 12 tests of physical and social cognition. The chimpanzees were also administered a fine motor task requiring them to remove a steel nut from rods of various complexity. There was little evidence for an age-related decline in tasks of Physical Cognition: for most tasks, performance was either stable or improved with repeated testing across age groups. An exception was Spatial Memory, for which 4 individuals over 50 years old experienced a significant performance decline across the 3 years of testing. Poorer performance with age was found in two tasks of Social Cognition, an attention getting task and a gaze-following task. A slight motor impairment was also observed, with old chimpanzees improving less than younger animals with repeated testing on the simplest rod. Hormonal status effects were restricted to spatial memory, with non-cycling females outperforming cycling females independently of age. Unexpectedly, older chimpanzees were better than younger individuals in understanding causality relationships based on sound.
