我们调查了日本猴子是否可以区分图片同种男性和女性使用视觉配对比较（VPQ任务。成年和未成年猴的全身照片被用作刺激。首先让猴子熟悉一种性别类别（熟悉的性别）的不同猴子的成对照片。然后在测试中呈现成对的熟悉性别成员和异性（小说）的小说图片。猴子表现出对成人和非成人个体的新颖性图片的偏好，这表明它们感知到熟悉的和新颖的性图片之间的差异。这些结果表明，猴子在没有特殊训练的情况下就能区分男性和女性的照片。(c)2008 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
We investigated whetherjapanese monkeys can discriminate pictures of conspecific males and females using a visual paired comparison (VPQ task. Whole-body pictures of adult and nonadult monkeys were used as stimuli. The monkeys were first familiarized with pairs of pictures of different monkeys from one sex category (the familiarized sex). Pairs of novel pictures of a member of the familiarized sex and the opposite sex (novel) were then presented in test. The monkeys showed a preference for novel-sex pictures of both adult and nonadult individuals, indicating that they perceive the differences between familiarized- and novel-sex pictures. These results suggest that monkeys discriminate between pictures of males and females without specific training. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
