观众可以对交流互动的动态产生深远的影响。因此，非人类灵长类动物经常根据特定时间的受众构成调整其社会决策策略。在这里，我们试图测试多个观众的独特声音行为如何影响沟通的决定。为了解决这个问题，我们开发了一种新的实验范式，在该范式中，普通狨猴直接与多个“虚拟猴子”（vm）互动，每个虚拟猴子代表一个具有不同声音行为的狨猴。这种主动的社会信号范式为受试者提供了一个与网络中每个VM的行为进行交互和学习的机会，并将这些知识应用于随后的交流决策。我们发现受试者与特定虚拟机互动的倾向是由观众中每个虚拟机的行为决定的，这表明狨猴的社会决策策略对即时通信网络的细微差别具有高度的适应性。
An audience can have a profound effect on the dynamics of communicative interactions. As a result, non-human primates often adjust their social decision-making strategies depending on the audience composition at a given time. Here we sought to test how the unique vocal behaviour of multiple audience members affected decisions to communicate. To address this issue, we developed a novel experimental paradigm in which common marmosets directly interacted with multiple ‘virtual monkeys’ (VMs), each of whom represented an individual marmoset with distinct vocal behaviour. This active social signalling paradigm provided subjects an opportunity to interact with and learn about the behaviour of each VM in the network and apply this knowledge in subsequent communicative decisions. We found that subjects' propensity to interact with particular VMs was determined by the behaviour of each VM in the audience and suggests that marmoset social decision-making strategies are highly adaptive to nuances of the immediate communication network.
