面孔是社会交往中最重要的刺激之一。三个实验比较了黑猩猩（Pan troglodytes）和恒河猴（Macaca mulatta）的面部识别能力。在面部匹配任务中，黑猩猩在试验1中匹配同种面部的相同照片，恒河猴在4次泛化试验后也做了同样的事情。在个体识别任务中，黑猩猩在2次试验后匹配了同一个体的2张不同照片，而恒河猴在不到6次试验中进行了概括。特征掩蔽任务表明，眼睛是个体识别的最重要线索。因此，黑猩猩和恒河猴能够使用面部线索来区分不熟悉的同种。尽管恒河猴需要多次尝试才能学会这些任务，但这并不能证明面孔对它们来说不如黑猩猩那么重要。
Faces are one of the most salient classes of stimuli involved in social communication. Three experiments compared face-recognition abilities in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta). In the face-matching task, the chimpanzees matched identical photographs of conspecifics' faces on Trial 1, and the rhesus monkeys did the same after 4 generalization trials. In the individual-recognition task, the chimpanzees matched 2 different photographs of the same individual after 2 trials, and the rhesus monkeys generalized in fewer than 6 trials. The feature-masking task showed that the eyes were the most important cue for individual recognition. Thus, chimpanzees and rhesus monkeys are able to use facial cues to discriminate unfamiliar conspecifics. Although the rhesus monkeys required many trials to learn the tasks, this is not evidence that faces are not as important social stimuli for them as for the chimpanzees.
