面孔作为与社会相关的刺激，很容易吸引人类的视觉空间注意力。虽然面孔在黑猩猩的社会生活中也扮演着重要的角色，但从比较认知的角度来看，面孔是如何被集中注意力处理的，仍然不清楚。在本研究中，对三只幼年黑猩猩(泛黑猩猩)进行了一项简单的手动反应任务，在该任务中，各种照片，包括作为非信息性线索的面孔，后面跟着一个目标。当目标出现在目标开始之前被人脸占据的位置时，反应时间显著快于当目标出现在与另一物体相反的位置时。当一张香蕉的照片与另一件物品配对时，没有观察到这样的优势。此外，当呈现直立的人脸时，这种注意力捕获也被观察到，这表明这种影响并不局限于自己的物种的面孔。相反，当参与者对黑猩猩的倒脸进行测试时，这种效应被削弱了，这表明了直立脸的特异性。黑猩猩的视觉空间注意力很容易被面部刺激捕捉到。这种影响是特定于脸部的，而且直立的脸部比倒立的脸部效果更强。这些结果与典型发育人类的结果是一致的。
Faces, as socially relevant stimuli, readily capture human visuospatial attention. Although faces also play important roles in the social lives of chimpanzees, the closest living species to humans, the way in which faces are attentionally processed remains unclear from a comparative-cognitive perspective. In the present study, three young chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) were tested with a simple manual response task in which various kinds of photographs, including faces as non-informative cues, were followed by a target. When the target appeared at the location that had been occupied by the face immediately before target onset, response times were significantly faster than when the target appeared at the opposite location that had been by the other object. Such an advantage was not observed when a photograph of a banana was paired with the other object. Furthermore, this attentional capture was also observed when upright human faces were presented, indicating that this effect is not limited to own-species faces. On the contrary, when the participants were tested with inverted chimpanzee faces, this effect was rather weakened, suggesting the specificity to upright faces. Chimpanzee's visuospatial attention was easily captured by the face stimuli. This effect was face specific and stronger for upright faces than inverted. These results are consistent with those from typically developing humans.
