In delayed matching to sample an object or image (the sample) is presented, removed and after a certain delay, is presented again together with a 2nd object. The task is to identify (match) the object previously seen. When the same pair of objects is used repeatedly, one or the other serving as sample, monkeys have difficulty making the match after a few seconds. The task was used as a test of short-term memory. If a different pair of images is used for each trial, pigtailed macaques can make reliable matches 24-96 h after presentation of the sample; longer intervals have not been tested. While the macaques were not as proficient as man in this regard, this may be a matter of technique in asking them the question. In any event they possess a visual system capable of prolonged retention of detail without benefit of linguistic support or rehearsal.
