在这篇文章中，作者比较了黑猩猩和儿童的执行功能。他们开发了一个非语言的尺寸变化卡片分类任务，该任务索引了执行功能的发展。三对母亲和后代黑猩猩和30个典型发育的5岁儿童在显示器上呈现2个目标刺激和包括2个维度（大小和形状）的测试刺激;他们被要求根据1个维度（例如，形状）。在连续5次正确的试验之后，参与者必须根据另一个维度（例如，尺寸）。结果表明，黑猩猩经常无法根据第一和反向维度对测试刺激进行排序。另一方面，孩子们能够正确地使用这两个维度。这些结果表明，黑猩猩的执行能力可能不如儿童发达。
In this article the authors compared chimpanzees’ executive function with that of children. They developed a nonverbal dimensional change card sorting task, which indexed the development of executive function. Three pairs of mother and offspring chimpanzees and 30 typically developed 5-year-old children were presented with 2 target stimuli and a test stimulus comprising 2 dimensions (size and shape) on a display; they were required to sort the test stimulus according to 1 dimension (e.g., shape). After 5 consecutive correct trials, the participants had to sort the test stimulus according to the other dimension (e.g., size). The results showed that the chimpanzees often failed to sort the test stimuli according to the first and reversed dimensions. On the other hand, the children were correctly able to use both dimensions. These results indicate that chimpanzees may have less developed executive skills than children.
