对非人类灵长类动物跨模式表现的研究仅限于少数感觉模式和测试方法。为了扩大这项研究的范围，作者测试了卷尾猴（Cebus apella）的听觉-视觉识别能力，这种能力在非人类灵长类动物中很少被研究。同时向猴子播放 2 个发出不同发声的面部视频和一个发声的录音。刺激组多种多样，从自然发生的同种发声到实验控制的人类语音刺激。作者发现，猴子更喜欢观看与所呈现的声音刺激相匹配的面部录音。他们的偏好在不同的刺激物种或其他刺激特征上没有显着差异。然而，后一组结果的可靠性可能受到样本量的限制。根据这些结果，作者得出结论，卷尾猴表现出对同种发声的听觉-视觉跨模式感知。
Research on cross-modal performance in nonhuman primates is limited to a small number of sensory modalities and testing methods. To broaden the scope of this research, the authors tested capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella) for a seldom-studied cross-modal capacity in nonhuman primates, auditory-visual recognition. Monkeys were simultaneously played 2 video recordings of a face producing different vocalizations and a sound recording of I of the vocalizations. Stimulus sets varied from naturally occurring conspecific vocalizations to experimentally controlled human speech stimuli. The authors found that monkeys preferred to view face recordings that matched presented vocal stimuli. Their preference did not differ significantly across stimulus species or other stimulus features. However, the reliability of the latter set of results may have been limited by sample size. From these results, the authors concluded that capuchin monkeys exhibit auditory-visual cross-modal perception of conspecific vocalizations.
